The construction sounds nice, but what's with that whole glob of keys on the right side, making you reach several inches further to get to the mouse? You know, the ones with numbers on them? I ain't no freekin' accountant, I want my numbers on the top row, above the "Q W E R T Y" keys just like on my old Royal manual typewriter. And CAPS LOCK to the left of the pinkie? Puhleeze! Enough to give an Emacs junkie pinkie tendonitis.

Now here is a real keyboard for Unix & Emacs geeks:

Been banging away on mine for quite a few years now.
