I have purchased several keyboards through GeekStuff4U over the past few years and have always been more then satisfied with them.  

If you can't find something elsewhere, they are a great option.

I was about to make a thread about that...has the site been impossibly slow for anyone else as of late?

Yup, loading takes ages sometimes.

Wonder if they're having issues with hitting data transfer limits.  Let us know!  I'd be happy to pitch in some $.

Geekhac's WHOIS lookup (on the IP, not the domain)  goes back to Lifeline Data Centers so I'm thinking it's a semi-dedicated or dedicated host (I'm sure iMav could please the nerds with the juicy details).

If it were just bandwidth text would load quickly but images and the like wouldn't.

Thanks for posting Ripster.  Been looking for these.  With shipping it comes out to almost $200 per keyboard.  Yikes.

Meh....for $200/keyboard, I'd rather order from thekeyboardco.com, they seem much more ... friendly.

$200 for a keyboard with Cherry MX switches is too expensive... rather +$$ and buy a Realforce...

It looks almost identical to the Leopold...but with out the Leopold logo.  Looks like Leopold made some keyboards and decided to OEM them to I-Touch....or U-Touch, which is in the case of keyboards.  Since I definitely don't want to Touch-U.  

BTW, anyone know what switch they are? Browns? blacks?
