Am I the only one who LIKES the black keyboard on the MB Air?

Yeah I know. It seems like such an easy upgrade
I'm sure it's just for brand-line distinction. It can't be that expensive.
I think the black keyboard is the ugliest part of the MBA's design. There's cool retro, but it's not the TiBook's color scheme. Granted, I think they should have made a black-key aluminum desktop keyboard like this (and a black mightymouse) to go with the new iMac's color scheme. However, they should have made the MBA keys aluminum-colored or at least white, but preferrably aluminum. Having an aluminum body, black keyboard, and white cords is just straying too far from my minimalist color taste. Here's hoping the next MBP keeps aluminum colored keys (I doubt it, but fingers crossed).

As earlier posters mentioned. The black keyboard makes it look more like a Dell
. Less is more - keep it simple (wrote that just to be the first to write these clichés )The black keys go very well with the aluminum imo. Do I prefer it over having aluminum keys? No... but is it ugly... I don't think so
Not a fan. White on silver a la the new keyboards is more preferable imo, perhaps it presented an issue with the illumination feature. The silver look of the powerbook/mbp line would have been just fine tbh.
I like it.
I'm thinking of getting a black keyboard for my Macbook, and just changing the keys... seriously.
is it hard to change the keys on a macbook? and where would you get the black keys?
