Anyone know anything about Datalux..?

I just snagged this one with a broken connector. It looks interesting and the manufacturer's site says it's "it is weighted to hold position firmly when in use".




More after it arrives.

I  had  a similar keyboard, it had linear switches, with a fairly short throw. Nothing very exciting to me.

Cherry G80-11900 has similar layout, except for the additional touchpad and arrow keys being fitted inside the alpha key area.

I picked one up a few months ago. It looks like the one you bought, except with the trackpad mounted on top. The keys are linear and don't feel particularly nice to type on. I got a great deal on mine and keep it around as an oddity, but I won't be typing on it ;)

Newer Datalux's (I don't know when they switched) have Cherry MLs.
