    Why can't I find a WHITE keyboard any more !!!


    Hi there

    It seems that these days external keyboards only come in BLACK with Silver letters on the keys.

    I prefer the old WHITE / CREAM ones with BLACK letters on the keys. I've resuscitated two old keyboards with the PS2 round connector --fortunately I still have the PS2--->USB connectors so the keyboards work. I've also got the USB==>USB wireless adapter so I can still use these WIRELESSLY (except for the USB-->to the wireless transmitter) but good enough so the keyboard is effectively a Wireless one.

    I find the white keyboards much easier to use if I have to LOOK at the keys -- especially if I'm using different language keyboards.

    Just a gripe - but I'm surprised all the external keyboards I see are always BLACK ones.

    Cheers

    And to think that once, long time ago I painted my KB and case black and everybody was saying it's stupid and would never catch up.
