That is a very cool keyboard.  Thanks for sharing! 

I really like how the base holds things together neatly, as opposed to some others where the halves are two separate pieces that are floating around on the desk with a cord between them.  The hemi-spherical mounts for adjustment is nice too.

If it was lower priced, I wouldn't mind buying it just to see if it improved my typing.  I have the bad habit of sometimes using the wrong hand for some keys, like hitting 'B' with my right index finger, or 'Y' with my left.  I'm sure this would cure that quickly, lol.  ;D

Happy to share!

I do like the well built structure to this board but it makes it one of the bulkier ergonomic boards.  The elevated spherical mounts make a lot of sense in this application, to allow more space to tilt (like the below picture) despite being asymmetrical and fullsize



I have that same problem, especially with B. I'm better about it since I stopped using my index for spacebar:P

I was curious about the delete, insert and backspace on the bottom row...

That's really interesting. The alternate backspace is in an awkward spot, though. I wouldn't be able to hit that with my left thumb, as I'd like.

Should be White Alps, the 1800-esque layout actually looks pretty nice.

Also, an IBM M15 is up on eBay too, but the joint is broken and its missing a spacebar. If someone doesn't mind that, it could be a good buy.

This does have white alps, have one here. Since there are two separate space bars, it's easy to run a jumper wire from backspace to the left spacebar for an "erase ease" type setup and just cut one of the original space traces. Can always be re-bridged if you want to go back to stock configuration, or put in a switch to do the same :)
