I was actually looking at one of these yesterday. They look very promising since they have Cherry Browns and it seems to be pretty compact. And they do have LED keys similar to a Ducky(?) on the Lock keys.

A while back i-rocks gave several geekhack members various keyboards in exchange for online reviews and feedback.

A very nice compact keyboard made by a Taiwan company. A little weird layout, but I kind of like it.

I like the design but abhor the bigass enter key. That's the main reason I never picked up an iRocks.

Everything I want. Except that tiny backspace. What the hell?

There are a ton of things wrong with that layout.  It could have been a great 'board, but it's all jacked up.

That's one of the worst keyboard layouts. Look at the Backspace key, the ?/ key, and the Ctrl and Alt keys. Why on earth would they design something like that?
