The nanokey 2 is either black with grey for the usual black keys, or white, again using grey in there. The pictures look pretty good.
I don't play keyboards, so it doesn't matter about not having the 'traditional' keys. I am just hoping to be able to use it to enter 1 line at a time. I have some big plans for the summer, and simple entry will take *forever*... I am not too fond of the speedy entry way, either. I haven't done very much the past couple of weeks, what with all my hardware issues, but it's time to get back to work... Phil.
