    There is no option to have your backlit keyboard as white? Thats a common color :(

    I thought I saw a picture of a white keyboard before :X

    You can make them white, but you will need to change the LED's
    There are three strips of multicolor LED's on the rear face of the keyboard. (well underneath the metal backing)
    You can change them to a white color, but that is not a stock color.

    They get the mix of colors, by mixing colors. They use different color LED's, as in an LED which can do red, blue, purple etc
