advantage: arrow keys have a cool layout, OMNI key, lots of function keys, function keys on the left (cool)

disadvantage: nonstandard number of Alps switches so no cool keycap sets, ever

At least it has a proper vertical Enter key, most of these keyboard snob cap kits only come with dumb US layout horizontal enter keys :mad:

another cool bit: using the dip switches under that little panel i can configure it for xt, at, amiga, and a variety of other computers

e:

quote:

The OMNI key in the middle of the cursor-control
keypad produces the same
keystroke as the 5 on the numeric keypad
when NUM LOCK is off. This key is
recognized as a programmable key by
some software packages such as Word
Perfect™.

i've only vaguely heard about topre before by name. for $215 it's hella pricy but very tempting. the other one looks really great too.
