| 769161 | 2009-04-29 02:59:00 | From my point of view, it's not whether black shows the dirt or not, it's as Mikebartnz says, black on white is easier to read. When white lettering on black wears and gets dirty, then the keys get hard to read, and dirty fingers are adding black all the time :lol: I don't care a fig about looks, it's functionality that counts with me. With black lettering on white or beige keys, dirty fingers keeps the lettering intact :) It also seems to me that the black in black lettering is more durable than the white compound used on black keys. I have a black MS keyboard www.microsoft.com this one, and the lettering on the most used keys has almost disappeared, they have gone grey, as though finger dirt has penetrated through the white pigment I've now dug out an older off white Acer keyboard, much older and well used, the lettering is perfect, and I just washed the keyboard in soap and water. There was no need for a poll, since I knew most would use black, after all that is virtually all you can buy off the shelf now. It is black everything. One of the worst combinations was gold lettering on black, so beloved of VCR manufacturers and others, the only worse combination is black embossing on black, ok if you are used to Braille :rolleyes: |

| 769163 | 2009-04-29 05:03:00 | Terry go for something totally different, there is a PINK one on Trademe Not if the lettering is also pink, that would be nearly as bad as the very pale, almost invisible, faint blue of your signature :thumbs: Edit or is it green, or something.......... |

| 769165 | 2009-04-29 06:55:00 | www.trademe.co.nz My daughter's friend loves it, it is her colours exactly. It is that colour because I have not figured out how to change it to anything else now. I click on the Font Colour and nothing happens in IE or Firefox even in Advanced Editor. Not sure what is going on. |
