It does look pretty, but I question why anyone would want ultra-thin keystrokes on a desktop keyboard.
Couch gaming maybe? I don't lnow
I agree with all of that. Snazzy looking but a bizarre approach.
oh, and forgot to add. . .too much $$$ for my needs. I'd consider it at ~$100-$150 but not at what will end up being $300 by the time it's all said and done.
Yes no thanks on that one.
