Had one of these with my original NeXT Cube that I bought new while in grad school.
Still one of my favorite keyboards ever. And the Cube itself was so far ahead of everything else out there at the time that it felt like pure magic.

Ah, the good old days, when I used to argue with my buddy that my SGI Indigo was more magical than his NeXTcube. It was even more fun than the old Mac/PC arguments. The Android/iOS fights today just don't have the same lustre.
