If it was wireless and had an option for other keys (eg Cherry blue) it would be near perfect. Or at least if not wireless, have a built-in USB hub... but would definitely prefer wireless.
As it stands it really isn't bringing anything overly compelling to the table which isn't already done elsewhere. The dip switch behaviour is nice but still not enough of a selling point to make me choose that over the many alternatives.

Last week a guy here at work was freaking out about the back light leakage on these fancy new IPS screens. I never noticed it, but when I took a photo of it with my phone camera the backlight was quite noticeable. I guess the camera takes in lots of light causing a kind of over exposure in the photo... It looks no where near how bad the photos posted online (or that I took) make the screen look. Its only noticeable in a dark room when looking at an all black screen (and even then to your naked eye its fine, but the photo looks like a brightly lit screen). He bought one anyway :) On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 1:46 PM, David Richards <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: It's louder than the "Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 1.0a" I was using before. It sounds very similar to that video. It's a bit hard to tell if its louder or not since it kind of depended on how loud I set the volume :) But if it has the same switches its probably the same. It's much quieter than a "clicky" one I had some time ago. I think it actually depends on your typing style. If I'm careful and don't bottom out the keys it's much quieter. I think it would take a bit if practice to do that normally.

How loud is it? I bought the "daskeyboard ultimate silent" and I am not so happy with it. I got the silent one, but it is still too loud. I use it at home where no one else sits in my home office, but doing remote pairing or calls is not a nice experience... Here how loud that "silent" keyboard is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTrj9QMonts .peter.gfader.
