No problem.  I enjoy it.  I was pretty impressed with the last one.  I keep it in my laptop bag, now.

Thanks for the application, Shawn. As I tried it by now, I think it's perfect for people have BIG hands because of the increase of distance between keys. unfortunately..i have small hands lol

Why are you even producing this kind of crap?
Sorry, but these keys feel absolutely horrible on any keyboard I've tried so far. It may work for calculators, but even there, keys are actually shaped/bevelled on the higher-end models, and that's for good reason.

Develop innovative solutions and stop copying everything that's currently "stylish," as it is definitely not.

Because that's what the marketplace wants.
 
I think i-Rocks is doing a good job catering to both sides.  They have a mechanical 'board with brown Cherrys.  There are a few things I would change about it, to be sure, but it's a Hell-of-a-lot better than what other companies are doing.  IBM (and now Unicomp) made BS boards as well as a variety of rubber dome 'boards, and Cherry makes some "crap" and some quality 'boards, and so do others.  It's just business.

For some reason, webwit, I think there are some missing sarcasm tags in Jeffrey's post. You know, for professional reasons.
 
That's how I read it, anyway.

That looks like a black version of the latest Apple keyboard except I bet it's tons more expensive.

I doubt it would be more than the Apple keyboard.  i-Rocks products are pretty reasonable.  Their Cherry brown 'board is less than the Filcos with similar build quality.  I just don't like the layout, personally.
