I have been working with the new NextStation keyboard for about a week. It
feels different, but I would not call it "cheap".  I actually find it ok
to use, and a bit better than my old keyboard... However the real
problem is the stupid "|\" key being moved away!  Also control-return
once again generates control-C... It did this in .9 but not in 1.0...
I think someone will probably post a keymap to get rid of this!!!
