New Keyboard for Desktop - not black

**bellbird** · 08-10-2008, 10:14 AM

HP Pavilion a1140a. Windows XP SP3: My HP PS2 grey keyboard has to be replaced. The store where I purchased the computer advise that all HP keyboards are black now. Can anyone advise a decent keyboard that isn't black. I've been looking on the internet and some look grey/ish but hard to tell and the info doesn't say (and yet the obviously black ones are labelled black!) If my computer model supports wireless would this be a better choice? thanks.

Genius KB-06X.

Last time I checked you could get it in white, looks like you still can, dirt cheap too.

Could always support breast cancer research and find one of those pink ones

The Logitech G15 is mostly silver.

Don't buy Genius - cheap and nasty.

Thanks I'll check them out. Do 99% of users actually want black keyboards or have the manufacturers decided for them. There doesn't seem to be much choice. I haven't seen a pink one supergran, I like pink but not for a keyboard.

We only ever use black keyboards now, they look so much nicer and don't show the dirt as much.

The manufacturers have gone that way too.

A customer of mine saw a pink one and got it on an impulse buy for his young daughter --- they are Errrrrrrr Rather "Bright"

Rather black than off white!
