Does one exist? Is it still being made? Can I buy it anywhere? Does anybody have one? I have a black monitor and I really would like a matching one, for aesthetics. Thanks.

The original Microsoft Natural Keyboard came in black, but I've never seen any of the newer Microsoft keyboards in black. I have seen keyboards in stores that were black and had the "natural" key setup, but since none of them seemed to be very good quality I didn't pay attention to the manufacturer.

If you don't mind keys being in the traditional pattern, I'd recommend a KeyTronic Designer keyboard. I've had mine for years, and I love it. LT Designer

i would not compromise comfort/quality for aesthetics. try again in a couple years, maybe there will be more variety.

I agree with NOSOUP4U... For one, Dell is transitioning to the elimination of white/beige/platinum from their product line in favor of a standard charcoal grey color. Both of their newest Dimension desktops already have this color scheme.

I would imagine (since Dell sells the Natural KBs) that they will begin offering them color matched to the new PC colors, so it's only a matter of time if it hasn't happened already.

I agree...I'd rather go with a white natural than a black regular. I've been typing much faster and more accurately ever since I got the natural. Plus, I don't feel nearly as much wrist strain (and I did have a gel wrist rest for my old regular keyboard).

Qwik,

I just bought a Microsoft Natural Pro and I absolutely love this thing. The Natural Elite is a little smaller, doesn't have the standard inverted-T shape for the 4 arrow keys and the feel of the keys isn't as high quality. This Natural Pro that I own is the nicest keyboard I've ever typed on. I don't like soft click keys and I don't like hard click either, this keyboard is a nice combination of both. I don't ever see this keyboard going bad either, the construction is top-notch. Just a recommendation. You'll spend about $50 if you shop around. I got mine from staples. With a nice pricematch and a coupon plus free shipping you can get it for around $40. Good luck!
