Well, I don\'t know how average-user friendly it is, but for maniacs, it sure as hell beats the Z-Board.

A: Six. Five to argue on who\'s explanation is right, and Moogie to lock the thread.

Not sure that kind of stuff could be compatible with linux, seems a bit too .. specific :)
Edit: my bad:
It will be OS-independent (at least it?s going to be able to work in some default state with any OS).
Edit2: It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available. <- :D :D

Hmm, it looks like it would be almost impossible to clean under the keys though (unless they make it self-cleaning :D ) as they will probably not be removable.

actually, i just looked at the specs for that keyboard and i was impressed. i just looked at a picture of it and thought it looked lame. i still think das keyboard is cooler though :p why? because it\'s DAS KEYBOARD!

I bet all those harder to press keys will also add two inches to your biceps and 150 lbs to your bench :P . You\'ll also learn how to type in pitch black conditions  :D

Optimus MAXIMIZE! I couldn\'t resist, I like the idea of the keyboard and if it is customisable then it would rock.

My keyboard comes from old IBM terminal, is big, heavy and older than most of you...and I love it. ;)
It has no these annoying windoze keys and after eight hours of banging in it my wrists are in perfect condition. So no idea why anyone would need anything else.:P

if you really beleive it\'ll do that you need a good slap in the face with the tango inflatable orange hand. a keyboard will not raise your iq or typing speed

practice raises speed, your iq isnt based on your qwerty setup, it is derived from all knowledge that exists and how much you know, common sense helps too.

now then, if you want a keyboard with nothing on it go ahead, but when you spend half an hour to find the G key i\'ll be watching anime girls in bikinis wave the letters at me :p

Why have a Das when you can have a keyboard designed for a real OS

Well, the das board and the blank keytop one surely are best when it comes to internationalization. :D
