I like my black IBM keyboard (though it isnt cordless). The white paint on
the keys is still there after two or so years, though I admit I use voice
dictation quite a lot. I only wish the black keyboards were backlit so you
can use them in the dark (as I'm always in the dark)  I think the injection
molded keytops disappeared with Apricot - now they had nice keyboards.

As for current cordless KB's I must admit I know nothing.
