Hi Bill,

I haven't seen any non-black keyboards for years......
Just recently I bought a Trust keyboard with build in LEDs, so the characters on the keyboard are lightened from the back. See http://www.trust.com/products/product.aspx?ProductCategory=INPUT&ProductGroupCollection=KEYBOARDS&artnr=17364 Works great! But unfortunately for you, this keyboard is wired. Maybe they will have a wireless version in the future.
I have no RFI problems with this USB keyboard.

I recently upgraded to a wireless keyboard and I love it. Completely cured
my RFI problem.

However, this keyboard has black keys, which is a first for me. It seems
black has become pretty much the standard these days.

I have a problem sometimes reading the black keys, especially in dim light,
so I came up with a simple solution. I cut out some small squares from some
Avery label material and stuck them on certain keys. I put them on the G and
H to locate the "home" keys, on the 5 and 0 on the upper number keys and on
the 5 on the right keypad.

For me, a huge improvement. Hope this helps somebody.
