I'll definitely stick with it. Thanks for the info.

Yep, I know all about what the colour the old Pro turns.

I can't remember exactly went wrong with mine - I might have just decided it was time to get a clean one without that over-used/over-cleaned polish to most of the surface.
I should be fair and add: During the research that I did before changing over to the Kinesis I found a lot of people that seemed happy with the 7000 (and the 4000 - the cabled version). But there were also quite a few with similar problems to myself (on both versions). I got the impression that it may be a quality control issue. Maybe most do come out fine, but mine barely saw out 12 months. Given the premium price (and the included mouse in the 7000 that I didn't like very much) I wasn't willing to try again. I am very happy with the Kinesis, but I can understand that it wouldn't be for everyone.
