A great idea.

However it wasn't for the washable bit although that may come in handy - it was because it has black letters on a white background and are supposed to be more resistant to wearing out (that bit I won't know about for a few years)

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

you let it dry out properly.
Personally, I'd prefer to invest in one of the old IBM model M keyboards with a mechanical action.
None of your rubber mat rubbish!

I cut them.
There was no proper keyboard "action".

The colour doesn't make a difference - what does make a difference is if it is double shot molded.
Edit: People seem to have misunderstood the point I'm making - I was specifically referring to "supposed to be more resistant to wearing out"

In my case it did because under the ambient light conditions and my eyesight I can more easily see the lettering of black keys on white than white on black.

I actually compared an old white keyboard with my black one and could clearly see the difference
I can't really explain why I can read black on white easier than white on black but I can

Double shot molded key tops are like a stick of rock - the letters go right the way through and are not just paint on the surface. You could file the top of the key off and the letter would still be legible.
In my job I've seen keyboards used by people keying at 15,000 key depressions per hour, 40 hours a week where their finger nails have worn deep grooves in the key tops and the letters are still legible.
