It sounds like most people didn't follow the link and read about the actual keyboard. Things that directly contradict complaints in this article:
- There is a hardware switch to remap caps lock to CTRL
- There is a hardware switch to remap scroll lock to windows lock (temporarily disable the windows key)
- The weird context menu button can be hardware-remapped to a Fn key that turns the pageup/dn set of 6 keys into media keys (and Pause into what appears to be Mute)
Other neat things:
- Hardware switches to swap between QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak, as well as to switch the alt/ctrl keys (supposedly useful when used on a mac?)
- Backlit
- 6-key rollover (n-key over PS/2)
Also: a PS/2 keyboard is required to get into BIOS on many (even modern) motherboards. USB usually doesn't register until too late. I'm not really sure why a PS/2 keyboard (or adapter, at least) isn't considered a hard requirement for a hacker's keyboard.
The bigger issue is that there's a steep learning curve to moving any of they keys that someone uses. You can't just arbitrarily move things and assume that it'll work for more than a couple dozen people.
