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. > >
