Someone should buy me this keyboard, it's only US $1,500. (yes, that's right, $1,500 for ONE keyboard :-P)

Ahhh! I love that groups work.

I've wanted one of those for a while, would probably keep it with the Photoshop keys on.

Which configuration would you choose?

Does it matter? :-P I just like the idea of having little displays under each and every key, and animating them all. :-) Maybe make the "F" flash, the "S" shimmer, the "J" jump, etc...

Bah. If they wanted to charge that much, they should have taken notes and made it spill-proof.

Not sure how that'd work, with the removable keys. And at that price, even if it was spill proof, would you be bringing a drink anywhere near it??? :-P

I thought of that, actually, and my answer was predictably dodgy. No, I wouldn't bring a drink near it... for a few months. Just like the laptop. Yesterday I found myself in a car, laptop on my lap and a drink in my hand, wondering how exactly I got into that situation but unable to do much more than hope Bill didn't make my drink spill. (I would have put it away when I got the drink except shutting it makes it shut down and he was installing a game.) And after I'd had the keyboard for a year, I'm pretty sure that despite the price I'd probably even be resting my toast on the number pad.
