Nowhere yet. If it ever does come out, I'm sure there'll be a thread about it here. If they make it Bluetooth and it doesn't have any glaring flaws, I will so want it. But we should all try not to think about it for now, just in case it's vaporware..

Well, last I heard, it probably won't be manufactured because of patent issues. Some other company is claiming that this design infringes on their patent, so the keyboard probably won't be made.

Engadget was all over this...about a year ago.

Even if it were a real product it would cost an arm and a leg and be a driver nightmare.

The website has a release date now. Or at least a cryptic message with a date in it.

The venerable IBM keyboard. I got one for my brother. Although I must admit, my Tactile Pro does a pretty good job of imitating it. Although the feel and especially the sounds brings back fond memories of the past … 
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
