That's a crazy looking mechanical keyboard man. Once you go mechanical you can never go back. My favorite is my noppoo choc mini w/ browns (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:14962 not my review) I have at home that I got for $80 shipped on ebay. I also have a blackwidow w/ blues at home which is good. I have a leopold tenkeyless w/ browns at work that I really like too.

It should be at my place when I get there today, so we'll see how it feels. :awe:

It's in! Feels very different from my old keyboard which will take some time to get used to. The black keys are a completely linear keypress with no "click" of any kind so it's a bit strange. The big thing is they used the stupid GIANT enter key plus tiny backspace key layout which is a pain given all the typos I do. I guess I normally hit the close part of the backspace key because I keep hitting the "\" key instead now. Again, something different.

Will have to try gaming later as I have to leave soon. So far I'm just happy to have a keyboard with all the keys working on it :D
