I still want Apple to release a standalone Magic Keyboard (the smaller one) in black

I want Apple to release a standalone Magic Keyboard in black.

My 16-inch MacBook comes in space black, and I want a standalone Magic Keyboard to match — or at least available in some hue of black. Currently, the only “flavor” is white.

Apple makes the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Number Keypad. But it’s US$199 and takes up too much desktop real estate for those of us who don’t need the numeric keypad.

So I use a Magic Keyboard when using my laptop with an external display and mouse. My Magic Mouse is black, but the smaller Magic Keyboard is only available in white. I want one in black to match the mouse and laptop’s hues.

A trivial thing? I guess. But we Apple fans like our aesthetics, don’t we?

Apple has finally released a Magic Mouse with a USB-C port rather than Lightning. However, the port is still infuriatingly on the bottom of the mouse. Apple needs to fix this immediately. And when it does, why not give us a smaller keyboard in a black option?
