This is sort of a random question, but since I'm going to school fro graphic design next year, I'm going to be forced into using a mac. I know it sucks, but it's the industry standard and all my classes are going to be geared for OSX.
Anyways, a camo filco or model m would look ridiculous next to the admittedly sexy iMac Pro and Cinema Monitor. I was looking at the K60's brushed aluminum finish (http://www.corsair.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/k/6/k60_top_us_r_2.png) and couldn't help but notice the similarity to the apple wireless keyboard (http://images.apple.com/keyboard/images/top_view_20110811.jpg).
If I put a full set of white, engraved, PBT keycaps on the k60, I think it would look sexy as hell and still match the design features of the mac products. What do you guys think?

Oh also, I would lose that WASD wristrest.

All I read and saw about the corsair keyboards coming up was ridiculous. Weird keycaps for WASD and "hybrid technology", which means not even all of the keys are mechanical.
What about a a Leopold in white?

Hmm... I'd really like to go with red switches. what about a g80-3494 with this vinyl wrap (http://www.rvinyl.com/Brushed-Aluminum-Vinyl-Film-Wraps.htm)on the case and white keycaps. That would look pretty good.

leopold has red switches, too. But no stock anyways.
there is a groupbuy for the coolermaster (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?22606-Interesting-Check-CM-Storm-W-Red-Black-switches-and-Ducky-From-PChome%28TW%29). the version with the red switches is black, but the ones with browns is gun metal if I remember correctly.
I am more into tenkeyless. My space is limited. On the desk more than anywhere. I am a student, too. If you try to use a book, the lecture script, your ecercise sheet, your actual notes and a computer at the same time, you will feel my pain.
If you like full size boards, the cherry g80 is a nice option. I bought a used g80-1800 before actually spending so much money on a tenkeyless.
That vinyl wrap is junk and I would not waste a thought about making my keyboard look like one of apple. My opinion. Feel free to buy it and have fun with the sticky wrap =)

This is probably what you are looking for:

But getting it is whole other business.

Wouldn't this match more?

It's a brown, isn't it? Wouldn't be too egregious in use.

Since when are the leopold reds sold out? The full size says they still have stock and the tenkeyless is a pre-order. I was planning on ordering one of the tenkeyless at the end of the month anyway... and that pink filco is what gave me the idea.

That aluminum keyboard is sooo cool. How can I get one.
