If it is anything like the full-size ones, it is very mushy.

Seems identical to what my colleague used some time ago. It had a detachable numpad.
In the meantime he changed two other keyboards, and is currently sporting Filco Tenkeyless with MX brownies and quite liking them. Blame me.


EDIT: Forgot the main point - are you interested in something specific? The keyboard should be still somewhere in the office. I could even probably send it to you, but I'm not sure it's worth the shipping cost. :)

i'm just curious about its general characteristics. it's rare to find a tenkeyless rubber dome :)

I didn't liked it, when I had to type on his PC. That should sum it up in a way. :)

It's too cheap new and we're too far away, or I would've just sent it over to you.


EDIT: IIRC the legends came off pretty quickly.

I can tell you straight away the one good thing in it - it's tenkeyless. It kinda hinted me in this direction, since my colleague wanted a keyboard that takes less desk real estate. So we ended with diNovo Edge for some time, before going mecha (again).

I still could answer some specific questions of yours, msiegel, but I doubt it's worth the trip to the office and the time spent. ;-)

If it feels anything like the HP keyboards we have at work, I'd pass. Those things are terrible to type on.
