Yeah it is a nice keyboard. It takes a week or so to adjust and get up to speed but it's a really comfortable design. And some of the keys are placed differently, once you know where they are though it's all instinct.

It'll drive you insane for the first 2 days or so of use though. LOL

Sun Microsystems shipped (ships?) some of its machines with a black version of that keyboard. In some movie a few years back the evil villian's office only used those Suns with that keyboard.

Hi

Interesting keyboard, but seems a bit painful when using a lot of "key - commands".

If you try to use one hand then yeah it's painful. LOL This keyboard is designed more to allow your thumbs to do most of the work in terms of the command/option keys. It's your strongest finger so all those keys are grouped around your left and right thumbs. All I can say is it is one comfortable keyboard.

Tooki: this keyboard was also featured in MIB, Tommy Lee Jones used one to access a satellite and find his wife. They just need one on Dark Angel, it'd complement that Cube and Cinema perfectly.
