Hey those don't look that bad. I saved them for posterity's sake in case I don't get one. I'm hoping that it will work out eventually.

I used it for a couple hours at work. The keys are almost rounded over and slippery feeling. I noticed it was nice to peck it like a notebook keyboard, but the keys aren't convex like my iBook keys. I will probably head over to FS forums to see if anyone wants it, unless I can return it. It is a very nice looking keyboard though. Very good build quality, and sturdy.

I got my UltraX yesterday and I love it. It's mecahnically indentical to the USB version of this same keyboard called the PSK5000. The keys aren't rounded, they're flat so they feel different than the typical desktop keyboard keys that are fairly concave on top. If you're used to using a notebook keyboard you'll do just fine with this one. If you prefer notebook keyboards you'll be in heaven with this one.

I finally broke down and ordered one from Z-Buy. So far I'm impressed with it. The touch is just right and much quieter than my other keyboards (though they weren't very loud to begin with). Looks are definitely way up there on the cool factor (one of the coolest looking keyboards, IMO. It seems to be very well built and solid, despit being thin.

I have tried using it without the wrist rest since it's so low and while it provides a good angle for typing (I prefer a slight angle to a completely flat board) I miss the slight cushion that my almost 9 year old wrist rest offers. I'm going to look into making some feet for it out of some scraps of dynamat I have lying around to bring it back up to height.

Finding the keys while typing normally isn't a problem. I don't find myself mistyping much at all... if anything my typing is better while on this keyboard. When I have to poke at other things, such as numbers and function keys, I find myself glancing down at the keyboard, something I haven't done in years. Since there are virtually no vertical edges to the keys, sliding your hand across the board and hitting a key based on feel is more difficult. I also tend to smack the enter key of the keypad in games and windows sometimes. This keystroke is harder with this keyboard, but I'm just nit-picking now. Overall it's great, but maybe I'll pick up the PSK-5000 sometime... usb ports on the keyboard might be nice.

After 2 days of use, I love this keyboard. Keys are easier to find and I'm able to type faster and more accurately. Now highly recommended!

how long is the cord on that keyboard? I'm thinking of getting it but i hope it had more slack than my current keyboard, which barely reaches my desk (my comp is on the floor).

I'd say it's about average... maybe 5-6ft. I'd take it out and measure it, but it's a rather big pain.

They make PS/2 extension cables if you're just looking for some extra length.
