Haha that is definitely one of a kind! Is that an actual Ethernet cable connecting the two halves? And are those extra keys down by the palm rests?

It is standard non-crossed ethernet cable; i.e. the one used between a computer and a switch/hub. But only 6 wires (from the 8 present in the cable) are used. The ISO link layer does not use Ethernet protocol.

Yes, there is a "palm key" next to the each rest. They are pressed by a palm part which is just next to the thumb root. I use the key as a function shift.

I'm pretty happy  with the keyboard.

There are some views of it from the sides here.

or any flavor, really. i haven't had one for years.

damn, missed it because of my absence 

Sharing with permission a kind review of the Round 2 B104 Beam Spring keyboard:

"My B104 arrived yesterday and it is an absolute treat. It's a gorgeous piece of equipment and it's clearly very well made. It required zero repairs or tweaking beyond putting the keycaps on - when I tested it, every key fired correctly the first time.

I am still a regular Selectric user and, with the solenoid on, this thing mimics the feel of one perfectly. Everything from the key profile to the resistance to the cycle clutch "kick" (if the solenoid is on) is dead-on. Which I know was IBM's intent with the original, but it's a feeling I've been chasing in a keyboard for fifteen years, and this is where I finally found it. I recorded myself typing on both and if it weren't for the Selectric's margin bell I'd struggle to tell the difference.

Also, your red powder coat matches my Correcting Selectric II perfectly. Side-by-side, they look like they could have come out of the same factory.

Thank you so much for this labor of love. I'm going to cherish it."
