Nice review. I enjoyed watching it. You have a good voice for this type of thing, and were very thorough. Interesting typing style  ;D What do you call it?

The typing style? Trying to fit my wrists around a book stack with my webcam on top xD . I can type faster, and without looking (though not flawlessly, so I don't do that in these videos), but I don't touch type.

Yes, it was definitely a unique typing perspective...Like I was typing...almost spooky.

nice to offer a review, but sadly since it is OOP the people who may want to get the board can only stare helplessly at you and salivate...
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

There's three on eBay right now, two tested working and one NIB, and that's not counting classifieds trades (which is where I got mine).

BTW, almost all videos I'll be doing will be on keyboards that are out of production :P . Not really interested in new keyboards, it's hard to find those discarded in bins (and I don't find many new keyboards to be even remotely interesting anyway :P ).
