I am looking for a full size, usb wireless keyboard that is off-white, or some other light color. Anybody know where I can find one?

Two questions. First, what is a "USB Wireless" keyboard? USB is a wired standard. Are you specifically seeking a particular kind of wireless keyboard, or perhaps one that comes with a USB dongle that communicates wirelessly with the keyboard? If so, would you consider a wireless bluetooth keyboard plus a separately purchased bluetooth to USB adaptor to be a "USB Wireless" keyboard? With regards to color, are you specifically excluding white, i.e. does white count as "some other light color?" If the answer is yes to both, then you could get Apple's wireless keyboard and a D-Link Wireless USB Bluetooth Adapter.

I did a quick search and turned up this beige wireless keyboard and mouse. I've never heard of the seller, but the price is low enough that you wouldn't lose much if the keyboard turned out to be awful.

Oh, that beige keyboard is PS/2 only. Sorry.

MacAlly makes a white keyboard called the RFKey. It has Mac keycaps but it's probably not that hard to get a Command key to work as a Windows key if that's what you need.

I have a wireless Logitech keyboard that I'm pretty happy with. I'm not sure of the model offhand, but it's a beast.

And why not just get a white keyboard? With enough use it'll be "off-white" in a couple of weeks, anyway...
