Cost a small fortune, too.
Nice reprogrammable, relabel-able keys though...

I just bought one of those, refurbished, on the US ebay  (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200555581491)for only $45, shipped. Best offer of $35, accepted.

The top row of keys, above the F keys, are actually cherry clears. And the rest of the keys are doubleshots.

It's fairly nice, except I'm still not much of a fan of cherry switches. But the card reader is a lot of fun!

Isn't ZF the company that owns Cherry now?

Is that like a squirrel shaver?

Oh, and the arrow keys are there, just moved up into the navigation block.

Maybe I should write a review of it one of these days. I just got it yesterday, though.

Edit: Oh, and yes, this is a Cherry board. ZF is the now their parent company.

That's a zeppelin. Friedrichshafen is a port city in Germany. Kinda like if you named a city Johnsonport in the US.
