Anyone hear of these?

It's the QWERKYWRITER S model exclusive with limited time color schemes!

Only $299 (compare at $399!)

It has gotten fancier with accessories.

There are now several other keyboards based on the same concept: both cheaper ones (often found on eBay from China) and more expensive (customs made from anodised aluminum, in forums like this).

It's a pity the square holes couldn't be rounded to match the caps, throws off the otherwise nice appearance.

Some people like the spherical keycaps, but apparantly a author from NYC and all authors love this.
