IMO, that is a really interesting keyboard.  Its about the size of the TKL (width wise) and has cherry mx brown switches (which i like).  I really like where the page / line control and arrow clusters are.  The built in numpad is also nice.

Still trying to figure out if I would have a hard time with that layout.  I think the hardest thing to adjust to would be the delete, tab and backspace keys that would be the most difficult to get used to.  I know I am just hardwired to hit those keys in those specific areas of the keyboard.

I would be interested to know what other people think of this keyboard.  Does anyone even own it?  It looks like it would only be possible to get this in abs keycaps too.

It's supposed to be ergonomic but that middle part when they keys becomes bigger as it goes lower. Yeah... I'm not sure if I'd be a fan of that kinda thing..

Its biggest issue is the keycaps ...

90% of them are easy to replace, but the ones that aren't could be a deal breaker for those who want to customize :(

I am tempted and intrigued by the design and size, but the non-standard caps make me question my motives

There are 3 more orders required for this to go through... I'm surprised it wasn't filled up.  This is a versatile board.
