If The Aluminum Macbook Comes Out, What keyboard do you want??

[Winter Charm]

I like both, so I'd have to say the MB gets the current keyboard, maybe an extra option for backlit (like $50 more or something). And the MBP should keep the old keyboard, I just like the feel of it (its more "pro-ish") compared to the cheap white plastic keys of the MB.

To the post with the mockup, I'd have to say the color scheme looks disgusting. the bezel is black, the keys are white and the case is silvery. bad color scheme, although design looks awesome.

yes, the color scheme looks awful - i just expect it to keep its current dimensions and stuff, including the keyboard (just add a backlight) - and the aluminum keys as well as casing. it wouldn't have the full out keyboard like the MBP but i like this type of keyboard. i just would love a backlight... what's more is how interesting it will be to see how they handle the issue of the Black'book. i mean, will they paint the aluminum a jet black, or will they add black trimming and just black keys (i would be disappointed if they did.)

i would personally want aluminum with a "black" coating over it - and then full out black body, black keyboard, etc... but i want the chicklet design.

furthermore i wonder what would happen if they chose to only make the black'book silver cased, and left the other macbooks the way they are - or if they kept the base model white, made the other model black, and then made the aluminum the price of the current black model.

not only do i like the MB keyboard better but its obvious that Apple is heading in that direction because of the MBA

A valid point but why does the slim alu keyboard have white keys then?
Maybe to match the Mighty Mouse?

I think so. It seems to be colored to match with a variety of computers. Aluminum to match the cases of all but the Macbooks and Mac Mini and white plastic to match those two, leaving only the Black Macbook as the odd one out, but it always has been, hasn't it? I don't think that much many Apple products match the Black Macbook at all...

I think this would be amazing on the new MB

All right, that does look really cool.

Check out the new Apple keyboards. I heard they were aluminum and white

Why do I keep doing that? This is the second time today somebody has pointed out something stupid I've put in one of my posts.

The same keyboards seen on the MBP!!!

It looks cheap if the case is aluminum and the keyboard is white or black. IMO


Another Tuesday is cominggggggggggggg.

MB and MBA Keyboard are essentially the same - and if you read what i said in my first post i said that assuming the color matches (the MBA is messed up w/ the black keys and silver body)

YES This was what i was getting at - but just in the apple format and with backlight!!!

a color scheme like that would be great - and exactly what i want - by the way , anyone want to speculate on what the black macbook would look like and if they would keep the magnetic latch?

Clicky keys, please. Give us some proper tactile feedback. The MacBook Pro keyboard wins here, slightly.

i know what you mean by that, but if you have typed on an MBA keyboard - they have the springyness you're looking for.
