I have 4 keyboards im choosing from which looks the coolest. I want a all aluminum
A: http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merc...Category_Code= looks cool but iI don't want black keys
B: http://www.overclockersclub.com/revi...m_keyboard.php
I like that one but has a black bottom I believe

C:http://www.pc-maeuse.de/webshop/inde...ml&lang=de I don't know if it has a black bottom but it has ps2 port i believe. I think no black bottom

D: http://www.extrememhz.com/elukey-p1.shtml It glows in the dark but it is plastic so it wont look as cool. Feels cheep. Silver but not aluminum

In my opinion,

A: too flat, key placement

B: windows keys, bad return key placement as well as the arrows and pg up/down

C: looks the same as B but cheaper

D: again the cramped key placement, but I like the glow in the dark

my conclusion, get A. I would like to try it out first but based on looks I think its the best. maybe someone can explain to me why every one of these keyboards had to screw up the key placement.

I really don't like the black key idea. It looks nice but the black keys kills it. I like the all siliver one but its in some other language. I can manage. The siliver/black bottom one is not bad but don't want black again. I could always spray paint it right?

I wouldn't spray paint a keynaord (well not the keys anyway) you touch them too much and it will wear unevenly, and then do you really want spray paint residue on your fingers all day, while you are eating expecially . . . there must be a better option. what about caovering it with aluminum foil? jk, of course.
