I tried purchasing this keyboard to see how Amazon would handle this order. I thought the automated system would block it or my credit card company would deny the transaction but I WAS WRONG. It seems American Express's system didn't catch the transaction or someone over their approved it as a cruel joke! I received a confirmation email and checked my credit card balance and to my horror the whole transaction went through smoothly. I tried calling Amazon but their customer service is closed until Monday. I have no choice but to accept the item and return for a FULL refund. My only problem is how much do I insure it for? With my luck the mail carrier will damgage it and I will be liable for $400k-$500k in repairs! GOD HELP ME!!!

WOW :Q :D

LOL :D

Bah, are you kidding me? The keyboard at Amazon is worth WAY more than the datahand keyboard. Don't forget it can also make a fabulous roast and cure cancer....it's a winner to say the least.

I ordered it, and immediatly received an email saying my credit card company declined the purchas. I guess I don't have a million$+ credit limit.

wonder who this pliablemoose guy is...

How did I ever live without this keyboard?, September 19, 2003

The switches in this board were individually machined in a spotless secret lab facility that prototypes futuristic components for B rated Sci Fi movies & series, thus the Rutger Hauer seal of approval (on the bottom) has been bestowed upon it.

The optional telekenetic module is an additional $2,000,000.00 and I have one as well.

& you thought the ALPS switches were dead & gone. Of particular interest is the color, a beautiful beige that blends in with other desktop computer components, and the L shaped enter key is sheer genius.

Spend the extra few bucks for this keyboard, you'll be the envy of your friends

What an Idiot! The same person who actually put that rediculouse price on the item probably accepted the purchase! He's probably the persons sibling!

Whoa, you spelled "facetious" correctly. Are you sure you're allowed to be on ATOT?

Ah, now there's a real ATOT'er.

That depends on how much faith you put in your CC company to catch this little glitch before they bill you...
