I really want one of these. There are no letters on the keys -- it's just a black, blank keyboard.

You can buy it for 76.95usd (free shipping) here but it's not shipping till June or something. I wonder if it's really worth the price though. Besides being awesome it's supposed to have special keys -- like it would be a great keyboard even if it weren't blank.

interesting... but couldn't you just as easily (and more cheaply) paint over a regular keyboard?

Regular keyboards don't have the nice mechanical switches.

 

I've typed on an IBM Model M keyboard with that design, and it's rather nice - you get a click when you press the key down the right amount, and it's very easy to type on.

The funny thing is, people used to HATE the "click". It was loathed almost universally back in the old IBM PS2 days. That's why it's so uncommon today.

yeah... I could imagine that getting annoying real quick.
