Whited-Out Apple Keyboard As Pretentious As You can Get?

Whited-Out Apple Keyboard As Pretentious As You can Get?

Here’s an Apple keyboard spray painted snowy, pure white — nothing to stop your eye but if your touch typing skills are still at high-school level, you’re in trouble.

Maker Essell says:

“The design snob in me isn’t particularly happy with Apple’s recent trend of using two colors (black and silver, white and silver) on their stuff.

So. Combine my pedantic taste for minimalism with nerdy touch typing abilities and a cheap can of white spraypaint, and you end up with my keyboard – possibly the most pretentious keyboard in existence.”

What do you think?

I don’t like it.

That’s pretty cool, but I don’t think these days that touch typing at high-school level is a bad thing.

Stupidest thing I saw in a while.

At Last!!! A keyboard worthy of the highest level of Mac-User. Most out here at “The Alice” is white-washed similarly – it would fit right in. You mate are cutting edge – bewdy~:0)

Awesome…should give these to those old fogies tip tapping with their index fingers. Maybe it’ll teach them to actually TYPE and not waste your time pecking away letter by letter!

I like it, and I agree with you about not liking Apple’s recent two-tone approachÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬ÂI think the new unibody MacBooks would look a lot better if they did an anodized black version.

I think it is ultimate cool, but that’s because I’m so pretentious I switched off the subtitles on the back of the seat in front of me and read off the subtitles from two seats forwards in Wagner’s Ring Cycle at the Metropolitan Opera just so it would look like I understood the German.

I want white back, if for no other reason that it drives PC guys (they’r always guys fÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¶r some reason;) nuts…
The new silver/black ones look like HP’s………and that just won’t cut it by me.

They should make this, with the letters printed on in black with temporary ink that will wear off as you learn the keys.

Perfect! Now let me just set my keyboard layout to Dvorak…
