[B] I hate to disappoint you Dave but I believe the reason manufacturers are making more and more Keyboards 'Silver' is because they reflect heat better. Black or darker colors in general tend to 'absorb' heat (from an external source) more. Black or darker colors also tend to 'retain' heat more and to a 'greater' magnitude than Silver or lighter colors do.

And with Processors and other electronic Chips, etc. getting stronger and more powerful, that is only more reason for manufacturers to make Keyboard housings Silver or other heat 'reflective' and 'dissipating' friendly colors. >> To stave off the "HEAT" and keep Keyboards cooler internally. [B]


Probably not the real reason.

Dell and Gateway computers with the new pocessors and chips have all gone to black computers.
