Sadly they sacrificed professional level and professional design of iMacs and opted for casual style that might appeal to mainstream casual users only.

Apple Stops Selling Magic Accessories in Space Gray

I would have like the gray in the small keyboard and a trackpad, but I'm happy I got the silver keyboard and trackpad for my M1 MacBook Pro. They are quite good and don't have anything that feels dated about them. Well...there is an eject key.....but still, they are quite good. Classic Apple, just can't change the etching on the eject key.
Gonna miss this color. Can't wait to see what they do with the next gen darker hardware.
100% agree,I’m very interested in M1/M2 but no way I buy these ugly new iMacs.such a poor and downgraded design.
Tim is there to count pennies not provide leadership. Once the transition to Apple silicon is complete there will naturally be some coherence again. In the meantime things will occasionally be out of sync as different departments move at different speeds.
A very small part of me hopes this indicates an attempt to clear the way for a new take on "space grey" - that will debut in the next MBP iteration.
A medium-sized part of me thinks that maybe they're going away from space grey.
The largest part of me thinks I have absolutely no clue about any of Apple's plans.

Doesn't seem weird at all. They included the extended keyboard with the computer. Why waste the money producing a smaller one in a color only available for one machine if you've already included the other version with the machine? It'd be a large extra cost for very few sales in return.
I just wish they would allow me to buy Mac Pro accessories. I don't want white key-caps, I want black.
Hopefully the bigger iMac embraces the dark side and this is just a way to make room for the new Magic Accessories with TouchID. But I don’t think this theory holds up with the mouse and Trackpad?
I'm confused by this post since the keyboard in question had black key caps. Did you buy it?
With white bezels 🤢
Why stop at gray? The Magic Mouse should be discontinued in every possible color
Picked up a couple of the Space Gray keyboards but the mouse was a problem in search of a solution. Hopefully the next mouse design will have a charging port in a more convenient place and be more comfortable in the hand, they could also stand to run it past their Accessibility Support group since the last version apparently eluded them.
I'm thinking that any new keyboards will have the more rounded corners, meh. Trackpads have always seemed like a gimmick, but that just might be me and the bad experiences I've had with laptops.

I'm speaking about the silver aluminium with black caps (and backlit) keyboard sold with the Mac Pro.
I like silver Macs, but dislike white keycaps as they get dirty. I use my MBP with a large monitor, and my keyboard is often out of reach. I just want an OEM keyboard that matches my MBP.
New black and silver Magic Keyboard and Mouse only coming with Mac Pro, at least for now - 9to5Mac
Now that the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are officially available to order, Apple has confirmed that the new...

It's just tradition:

LOL. I just gouged my eyes out, and now they look the same.
