Looks like a standart scissor switch keyboard with a wood case and keycaps. But i have to agree, it looks classy.

Would think it would need a durable finish so the keys and case don't discolor from your hand oil.

The Verge just posted about this:

Basically The Verge is blind to Apple Designs. They are convinced that 1 Infinte Loop can do no wrong.

Dont get me wrong, apple makes beautiful computers, they just make **** keyboards.

Love the caption: "This is not made out of unnatural materials like plastic or metal — it's a living thing," says Takata. "It's not static, it moves, it grows."

I can just imagine waking up one morning to find a few shoots growing out the side of the keyboard.

I'm working on a Gh60 case right now. I think I'll be doing a phantom as well, but I'm not sure yet

Durp.  Make it out of micarta and hand oil will "improve" it. :))

Also- EWWWWWWWW it's made for Macs and you buy it with that croissant money (€).

Looks dull. They could have at least picked a better wood to do this with - ebony or snake wood would have been killer. Ten times more expensive yes, but killer.

My keyboards grow mold in my basement, so I don't see why these wooden keyboards wouldn't grow either.
