Do you want a sleek white gaming keyboard to perfectly match your white gaming desk setup? You’ll be happy to know there’s plenty to choose from.
If you want a black quiet mechanical keyboard you have a whole tonne of choice but white tends to be a rarer color. Most gaming gear is black with a bit more black plus a load of LED RGB lighting thrown in for good measure.

White goes with everything, it brightens up a small space and blends in perfectly with any home decor.
If you’ve invested in a beautiful white desk setup, it stands to reason that you don’t want to fill it with black gaming peripherals.

What to Consider When Buying a White Gaming Keyboard
⸻
1. Switch Type
There are three different switch types you can get for your gaming keyboard and the one you choose essential comes down to personal preference:
- Linear switches: These feel smooth and glide down without any tactile feedback. They’re the quietest option.
- Tactile switches: These feature a bump midway through the key’s downward travel which registers the key’s action before it bottoms out. They allow fast actions but are noisier than linear switches.
- Clicky switches: As the name suggests, they have a pronounced bump when pressed but are also noisy like a typewriter. Many people find this type of switch satisfying to use.
⸻
2. Keyboard Size
Gaming keyboards come in several size options. A 100% keyboard will have all 104 keys you typically find on a regular keyboard including the number pad situated to the right.
A tenkeyless or tkl keyboard (also known as 80% keyboards) has all the usual keys but minus the number pad. And, a 60% keyboard (the smallest option) has 61 keys.
⸻
3. Backlight
Zoned backlighting helps you see which keys you should be using and segments the keyboard making it more organized. However, many people find backlighting distracting and unnecessary.
Therefore, choose a white keyboard that matches your preference for having a backlight or not.
