KB Covers uses Apple's aluminum-and-white as the basis for each US$120 KB Keyboard, replacing the keyboard's stock white keys with black or labeled versions. Models are available for Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools. The company also sells a general-use version that's essentially Apple's keyboard with black keys.
