Link.

I found this while perusing ebay. I don't follow Datahands, so I have no idea if it's a fair price or not. They do seem to be rare, though.

Just a heads-up for anyone interested.

I'm sure it's no surprise, but these got a nod as one of the World's Wierdest Keyboards from PC World: http://www.pcworld.com/article/161402-8/the_worlds_weirdest_keyboards.html

ALL keyboards should have that extra chip. I told Lowpoly that for his miniboard as well.

It just needs to work right. My Northgate is programmable, but the programming chip has a known glitch in it that causes the 'board to spaz-out and causing not to output keystrokes. When you reboot, it just outputs random keystrokes whe you press a key. You have to shut down the PC and reset the keyboard. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's a pain in the a*s.

As far as I can tell it has the world's lightest keyboard switch - it's a magnetic switch. Lightest except for that weird DIY British guy's that looks like an Organ keyboard.

Tim Tyler looks familiar. "Imagine all the keyboards, imagine how light they'd be, ...."

I suppose that Tim does have that kind of aspect about him...

Well, I'm just jealous. My hair style resembles my CH Trackball.

Strung out on coke?

I like how they include a pic from the movie "Contact". A itty bitty Jodie Foster there.

Are you sure it isn't Jodie 90?

That closeup of the DataHand explains a lot, it probably isn't as hard to learn as I thought.
