Does anyone know of a keyboard (preferably not one of those 'natural' ones) that has the same color scheme as the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (silver+dark grey)?

anyone? Alienware has some nice silver and grey (or black..cant tell from pic) keyboards that they sell with systems, but you can't buy them separately. I can't be the only person that wants my peripherals to match my case.

well if you don't know yet, Directron and Thortek sell black and silver computer parts. Be prepared to pay a little more because they are black. I bought from them and they are good dealers, but you just have to pay extra.

Well, drives are no problem, because most CD/DVD drives can just be spraypainted. Its alot easier when the front drive bezel pops off, like on my Pioneer 106S. But spraypainting a keyboard is not an option (damnit...what key is ....)

Well, those sites only have 2 silver keyboards; the BTC looks like a piece of junk, as it doesn't even have the directional keys. The Mitsuko looks OK, but they don't have a picture of the silver one, only the black one. Plus it comes with speakers and a mouse, which I would rather not buy. I'll keep looking.

By the keyboard you want and spray paint it! Alienware doesn't spray paint the keys! They just paint the outer frame/bezel and leave the keyboard keys grey or black which were done by the manufacturer.
