Not having a black keyboard is how the hell I got myself into this mess. Every day I would see the ugly Compaq rubber dome back up I was using, because my silicone board had died. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd look at it and want to replace it, since it was only my lowly backup keyboard. I was sick of how quick the silicone boards were dying, so I had to do research and landed myself in the mechanical jungle. I've now spent $430 on 4 different mechanical keyboards.
I never liked the beige/white stuff and I'm annoyed that I've got a white Wii, but I'm gonna be cheap and get a skin.
That said, at work, I really didn't mind and even grew fond of my G80-8200 beige and grey. I still prefer black, but at work, I care more about function. Although, because I prefer black and they cost so damn much, I refused to buy a white Realforce.
There's no going back to regular full sized keyboard for me. The closest thing would be a mechanical or capacitive with a detachable ten key.
