This really isn't meant to compete with a regular keyboard, or regular keyboard prices. Yeah, it's expensive - and they totally misrepresented the price - but it''s a *luxury item*. Same thing as with cars, houses, or just about any product. Heck, I'm wearing a $1500 Omega Seamaster watch -- but my Casio G-Shock of $50 keeps far better time. So my Omega really is a crappy buy.... But it doesn't matter, since I'm buying it for the added luxury and refinement over the G-Shock.

As with most things I'd have to try it before I buy it. *sigh*But with low production numbers and prohibitive pricing no retailer is going to set one out for common scum like me to pound on. That's assuming it gets carried by a bricks and mortar retailer at all. I imagine I will never try one unless a close friend buys one first.

Oh goody, more blog spam. A quick SEO tip Dean, duplicate content on multiple URLs HURTS your search engine ranking. All you different URLS may make it easier for you to Spam them without getting caught, but it means each Spam gains you less and less than it would if you stuck to a single URL.
