Take a flashlight and shine it at a Filco or a Das or the invisible Leopold.

On second thought the glare from the Das might be blinding.

I wouldn't recommend Xarmor even if their website ever comes back online.

If you take a flash light and shine it at the BlackWidow, it actually goes through that plastic.. because thats how those "hidden" LEDs work too. Its funny if you disassemble it and hold it up your eyes, you can actually look through it like extremely dark shaded sunglasses.

I decided to go with the Deck Legend Ice Tactile. Its not cherry brown but should be perfect. Has the best reported backlight too. Im also on a mac and prefer no drivers or anything to install. My 1st mech was the original Apple II extended. My wife spilled OJ on the latest logitech G15 which now looks like a kids toy compared to a good mech. The point.......

After extensive research on tech and looks.....
The Deck is the best option....Status: Shipped!!
