I'd love a keyboard with a plain white or single-colour backlight

How about a multi-colored LED and set the color to be always white (or any other single colour)?
I personally use this at home and I can just set the color I want in the software. I'm currently stuck on a color schema where the keyboard reflects my colors on the screen. So when the top half of my monitor is red, the top half of my keyboard is also red.
Also, it's pretty slim. I don't like bulky keyboards.

Looks nice. Compact and useful. Shame the UK layout is out of stock.

RGB is fine, but the one I've got right now (a TKL Tecknet cheapy) is one of those that has a different fixed colour for each row, so I can have flashing effects (NO!) or a solid rainbow or all-off. All-off is too dark to see and the rainbow is kinda garish and ugly (and this is coming from someone who wears rainbow gloves, so...)
On the other hand, it's UK-layout, blue switches, solid metal backplate and feels really good to type on, so...

All in one color isn't possible with yours right now? bummer :/

I've got blue switches at work too - great choice!
