Just got this link from a GameSpy email, and I must say that it looks quite enticing.

I can imagin me using it for many, many things.
I am becoming ever-concious of Ergonomics, and the effects that will hit me later in life from the bad design of most Keyboards.

One of the things I'd definatly do with it ( or the extra keys ) is to set up a Dvorak keyboard !

Have a read - It's well worth it

Jess.

You would like that, wouldn't you?

Why would you shell out $200 to create a DVORAK keyboard when you can just purchase a normal one for $20 and rearrange the keys? Actually, you don't even need to rearrange the keys, I learned to type in DVORAK by just memorising the key positions (it's quite intuitive so it makes it easy to remember).

Plus, I don't think this product is really aimed at typing, considering by default it only has 25 keys (1 less than the alphabet, excluding numbers, special characters and a spacebar). Which means you can also discard using it for most multiplayer games where you'd want to taunt your opponents.

Looks like something from play school if you ask me...

Stick with the trusted keyboard and mouse...
