Not sure about this keyboard, but Thomas' videos are fantastic. His is one of the few YouTube channels that I have actually subscribed to.

"Hello, and welcome..." :D

Indeed, it's beyond me how anyone can watch one and not become interested in MKs. Chyros provides a rare bridge between technical knowledge and entertainment. His genteel and unexpected use of the word f@#! is just one aspect of his brilliant style.

Post by: dorkvader on Sat, 06 May 2017, 19:04:22: well its got a weird vertical enter key you continental guys seem to like. I still can't touch type, so maybe I'll buy one and keep it to use.
