I don't know if it is the tactile or visual sense of where the edges of the keys are, but I seem to plunge my fingers between the keys less often than with all black plastic keys that blend into the darkness beneath.<br /><br />After some unpleasant experiences with poorly-packed machines, I look now at a stack of boxes like that with a mixture of pleasant anticipation and dread. It does help though, as you suggested a while ago, to provide the seller with packing instructions.
