Curious about the black on dark grey.

Thx, black switches then. What about the caps, are they non-standard? I see nothing in the wiki about another colour-scheme?

Now that you mention it, yeah, it could very well be beige. I really thought it was dark grey/black there but didn't look hard enough I guess.

Hmm... usually wood gives it away if the White Balance is THAT far off. Also the purple isn't bad on the PS/2 connector.

Other trick is to check his OTHER items.

Good possibility it is NOT beige.

There is considerable shine on some of the keys now that I inspect it. Perhaps it is shadowed by something, because the wood is much darker closer to the camera.

just bad lighting.
I do claim this being simply the "allwhite" double shots, as in: no bicolor, that's why i have kept an eye on it.

I just got one of those recently, they are light grey not white or beige. Definitely a LOT lighter than the auction photo.
