Looks like it's just a leather-wrapped HHKB Lite 2, which isn't very well liked on here. ;)

We had a thread on this somewhere before.  I am not sure I would like my keys leather wrapped.  I would think it negatively impacts the overall feel of the keys.  Also, IMO, it takes away from the crisp look of the 'board itself.

Wow, that old thread brings back some memories; that was around the time I started.  There are some fallen soldiers in that thread (graywolf, vils, Waves77...).  It's a shame that about 10 months feels like "back in the day." :)

Don't worry about it. :)  If we all checked to see if everything we wanted to post, nothing would ever get posted, because we would all be afraid of getting an a*s-ripping for posting something that has already been posted before.  Besides, newer members might not have seen the older post, either, and the older post really doesn't talk about the keyboard too much.  This might reinvigorate the topic.

I don't know... there something about a leather covered keyboard that just doesn't seem right, so I'd probably have to pass.

Hope nobody comes up with a fur covered one.
