The faq for the keyboard options all say “white backlit or per-key RGB options”. Which ones have the white vs RGB? I picked the only linux option so was wondering which I would end up with.

Considering people were complaining about no RGB with Linux keyboards, I would say white backlit. You could get the RGB only keyboard and get custom keyboard stickers if it matters.

i would say the white backlit one cause the RGB ones were at the bottom and more expensive

Welcome to the forum.  
Any keyboard that doesn’t have “RGB” in the name has the white backlight.

Currently, the only two RGB keyboards are:  
RGB Clear ANSI  
RGB US English

Do note that “RGB Clear ANSI” has no letters / no legends / no symbols on the keys at all, just completely blank and clear.

The “International English - Linux” keyboard has the white backlight.
