Could just spray paint a board with not too many grooves and nooks and crannies; get a dolch or black cap set.

If you were in the US, I would highly recommend this product, which I have used many time with great results.
Go to an automotive store and see what they have.
PS - as always with any form of paint - follow the directions to the letter!
Ehh, I'm not really a fan of painting things like this. It never turns out how you expect and is difficult to reverse if you want to later.

A nice SGI?

Have you got it working with another PS/2 keyboard?
The styling reminds me of a Sega Saturn - the grey Japanese model.
The SGI keyboards have a speckled pattern in the grey, so I don't think those would fit.
SGI isn't a bad idea, but like Findecanor said, they're speckled. The grey is also significantly lighter than the Mi-CAT60 (from memory at least).
As for other keyboards, yes, it works fine with all of my PS/2 keyboards. It even came with a matching grey PS/2 6-button gamepad that I've been using to play Street Fighter II Turbo on my Windows 98SE rig. It feels surprisingly good!
It does look a lot like my grey Saturn and is even close in colour, so it's a shame there wasn't a dark grey PS/2 keyboard for Saturn...

That font—saying M1 Catcher—looks like Chicago, and therefore the classic Mac OS era Apple to me.

You're right, I didn't notice that before!

That's not a bad idea, it definitely matches the whole "multimedia future" aesthetic.
Other than that, there's the BTC-5100C but I can't tell how dark/black it is. Does anyone here own one that they could photograph next to something so I can try to gauge its colour?
