    What are the keys made of?

    I can't decide, is it plastic or are they aluminum?

    I'm not sure if I'd prefer aluminum keys over plastic :confused:
    Aluminum keys would probably be a bit cold until the computer warms up.
    Plastic keys get worn and shiny from use.

    Exactly what I was thinking.


    My keys do seem pretty cold at first? But I bet they are plastic. I worry about the key markings rubbing off.
