Just another opinion...  I also like it except for one thing:  the
keystrokes are too short.  In otherwords, the keys do not have the
same travel as other keyboards I've used.  I'd advise you to find
someone who has one and try it before buying it.  In fact, thats
probably a good idea for any keyboard.  Keyboards preferences in
general are very personal things.
