TL;DR "The Pyra keyboard has awful glare, I wouldn't buy that thing!"

I've always had a problem with keys, especially shine and poor contrast with dark blue on black keys.
Layout and visibility is important to me, and it's exceedingly frustrating to not have good promotional material which shows the keyboard properly. Surf through Dell's website and try to figure out where pageup is.
I've been able to troll through things enough to find renders and off-angle photographs, but I'd like to make a thread specifically addressing the concern of better photographs and videos.

Here is an example amateur photograph:
(I didn't think to create a collection of pictures I've seen)
Some improvements already exist:
- clear keys (not black)
- orange text (not blue)
- backlight
The pictures aren't realistic because they are on an angle to showcase the full device and screen.
So top-down pictures would show realistic glare (real-world use is important to show), and and pure promotional pictures should use a polarized lens to unrealistically remove glare entirely.
I've got a document camera and a lightbox and intend to take less-terrible pictures, but perhaps some discussion here could help others improve their own creations.
