if i ever considered buying that keyboard typing would be the furthest from my mind, that is just crying out for a new mechwarrior game to be made for it, I could easily imagine how immersive that keyboard would get.

It looks bloody awful! Sure it works well though.
I prefer the Kinesis.

It's a classic. Too bad my transmission just died. I think even the buy-it-now price is very good but I didn't follow Touchstream prices that closely.

I just bid on the "ergo thing", if I am lucky enough to get it at the minimum bid I'll have a nice Christmas present. Bets are open for how long it will take me to be able to use it proficiently, lol.  

If I get it, I'll definitely do a review and a nice photo spread, taking it all apart of course, so keep your fingers crossed  :)
