Techno Trousers:
Some very nice mechanical keyboard love from the mainstream press! Maybe the function/media keys will help win over the Logitech/Razer crowd too.

Although the statement "IBM and Lexmark have long since abandoned the Model M" must be causing sad faces over at Unicomp.

Well, at least they did mention Unicomp at the end of the review.

5. Cherry Blue switches, aimed at beginners who are impressed by clicky sounds or non-beginning douchebags who want to impress people by pressing small leafs of metal while typing. It is a b-switch.

Hey now, I happen to love my Filco 104 tactile click. We're all here for the love of mechanical switches, whatever flavor we prefer, right?

As for the controller issues, perhaps they've addressed that. They would have had to do some reprogramming to support the media functions on the F-keys. I'm going to reserve judgment until someone here gets one and really puts it through the ringer.
