i think they are black just because for the last decade most desktop systems sold have been black. now you can still find white keyboards but typically they tend to be a bit plain. there are just certain features i've grown used to.
I like black keyboards. I hate white computer parts, feels old (no offense). Plus, black hides dirt. I am NOT a clean person.
I also am a touch typist (although at some point I need to sit down and retrain myself). So the letters themselves make no difference to me, I would rather have an ALL black keyboard with just feeling of bumps of letters or something, that would help me a lot.
I have crap ALL OVER my room, my stereo (that I never use....) is covered, I have random computer and monitor parts all over.

I have to look at the keys to type....never learned to type "properly". That said, I have two keyboards that are either beige, or once were white....and I wish I had a black one to match my tower and monitor. Also, after reading through this thread,I think that it would be really cool if the letters were backlit, as I am often at the computer all hours of the night, and don't have a whole lot of lighting on in the room.
