I just don't see why there's all the hype over this keyboard versus any other mechanical board (Filco, Leopold, Ducky, etc) other than PR.
For me personally, nothing beats an 87-key (standard 101-key minus the number pad, but with arrow keys and stuff above them) with Cherry MX Brown switches. Blues are also acceptable in a pinch (reminiscent of the old Northgate Omnikey boards). The only superior board is of course the IBM/Unicomp models with buckling springs.
All this is my opinion and preference; I have coworkers who love the "flat" chiclet-style keyboards like the Apple models; I can't stand them and they make my fingers hurt due to lack of travel. Bad habit from learning to type on a Selectric II in the late 80s.
