MacRumors Giveaway: Win a Custom Colored Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard From ColorWare

[MacRumors]

For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with ColorWare to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a customized Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and a customized Magic Mouse to go along with it.

For those unfamiliar with ColorWare, it is a website that specializes in device customization, painting all kinds of electronics in unique custom colors that are unavailable from the manufacturer.

Priced at $249, the Touch ID Magic Keyboard can be painted in any of the colors that ColorWare offers. There are matte and gloss options, and ColorWare has almost every color of the rainbow, including shades of red, blue, green, purple, and pink.

For those who like a more muted device there are silver, white, and jet black options, along with a series of metallic shades. ColorWare also offers green and orange "Hi-Vis" shades that are super bright.

The coloration process includes each key and and the aluminum base of the keyboard itself, all of which can be turned a single color. The Touch ID power button is protected and remains the standard white color.

The customized Magic Mouse can be ordered from ColorWare for $149, and it comes in all of the same colors as the keyboard. The colorization process includes just the top of the mouse, leaving the silver aluminum base intact. It's worth noting that the customization of the Magic Mouse eliminates the Apple logo on the top.

ColorWare has been creating custom painted devices since 1998, and has perfected its painting process. ColorWare uses a multi-step coating system that includes a primer, the application of a primary color formula, and a liquid plastic coating that protects the color that's been applied.

Aside from the color change of the keyboard and mouse, all of the standard functionality remains available, with no change to the functionality. ColorWare also offers all kinds of other custom painted devices, including AirPods, AirTags, console controllers, the Nintendo Switch, and even robot vacuums.

We have one Magic Mouse and one Magic Keyboard with Touch ID to give away to a lucky MacRumors reader. To enter to win, use the Gleam.io widget below and enter an email address.

Those are sweet looking.

Gotta do something about that white Touch ID button.

 

[japasneezemonk]

I expected these to be more expensive. Matte looks good.

 

[Unity451]

Oooo... Fancy.

 

[AppleHore]

These are cool as fock. That green is… pinch me and let me Touch ID you now.

 

[nutmac]

I love their metallic finishes. Their custom painted AirTags look fantastic too.

 

[Westside guy]

I really like the blue!

 

[tranceme]

Funny and more funny. $249 for a keyboard and $149 for simple mouse. I guess the economy is doing quite well if people can worry so much about colors and shell out that kind of cash on regular looking slim keyboard. I do like the TouchID.

I guess it's the same people that buy way over priced Apple Studio Displays. I'm jealous. I'll take 2 now.

Two words: credit cards.

Good luck to all those who enter

They look awesome!!

I’m thinking I can finally get a DVORAK keyboard that’s properly labeled. You can move around the key caps yourself, but I leave the F and J where they are because of the bump. That leaves four keys out of place that I try to fix with white out and a greyscale fine tip marker (ie. J —> U). Looks like crap. If they can fix that, I’m in.

Colorware is an outstanding company!

Entering….

 

[AgeOfSpiracles]

If I won the lottery, I'd buy three of everything they sell and rotate colors constantly. But it's just way too indulgent for me lol.

 

[anthogag]

There is a change in functionality, a different colour can excite the senses in different ways.

 

[Moonlight]

An orange keyboard would go really well with my new Mac Studio...

 

[mkoesel]

Agree.

If one is willing to go with an extended keyboard, theoretically, they could start with this new keyboard:

Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad for Mac models with Apple silicon US English Black Keys - Apple

Apple Store Search Results

www.apple.com

And then you'd have a black TouchID sensor instead of white which would look especially good with the black lettering option. Unfortunately, I don't see any option to specify this on their website. Perhaps they will add this soon, though it would increase the price since the black keyboard is $20 more from Apple.

It also does not appear that Colorware offers any mixed-color options, so there is also no way to order the non-extended keyboard in "silver-with-black-keys" (and white TouchID ) to emulate the look of the new OEM black extended model above. It's strange that Apple still won't offer a black color option for their standard keyboard. They went through the trouble of providing it in every color the iMac is offered in but didn't do the same to accompany the new black/silver peripherals that arrived with the Mac Studio.

Some of these look very nice, but to get a new device that instantly arrives with a voided Apple warranty, I’ll pass thanks.

As a professional writer, this is about as useful to me as a sheet of cardboard with hand-drawn buttons on it.

This isn’t marketed as having some kind of special use over a regular keyboard, it’s for the aesthetics.

 

[macduke]

Will they consider colorwaring a Mac Studio and Studio Display? That would be pretty slick.

I love the matte black AirPods Pro. When Apple releases AirPods Pro 2, I'm going to seriously consider getting them colorwared. I already have black foam tips that would go well with them. Or maybe the Graphite Matte Metallic...seems like that might be a good space gray? And maybe the Techno Matte Metallic for the case. Nice.

I know. But the point remains. As a writer, there's little value (at least for me). I need a keyboard with more tactical response. And these days, that sort of thing is getting relegated to the shadows more often than not, which is troubling, considering how many people use them to make a living.

What are you talking about? You know there are other companies besides Apple, right? Plenty are even making tactile and clicky wireless keyboards. Yeah, you lose TouchID, but as a writer I am sure that is a small sacrifice to make.

I do know there are third-party options. But it would be nice if Apple actually shipped a "pro" keyboard with their "pro" computers, that's all. If it's called a professional device, it should feature professional tools... not just be a marketing slogan.
