    I don't understand what you don't understand. The ultimate version is simply awesome.

      Cool. Although I'm tempted just to scratch the letters off my current keyboard. :)

        129 bucks for a blank keyboard :wtf: If you shopping for the ultimate keyboard nothing beats Optimus Maximus :cool: http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/[^]

        A dogged, arrogant belief in self and the childlike idealism that comes with not knowing my limits. This is my greatest blessing, my priceless attribute.

        It's the most important input dwevice, so I'd happily pay 129 bucks for a good one. I've settled for this Cherry[^] one, with click/pressure point keys (alos available in long throw and soft - yuck!) As for the optimus: never handled one, but nice pictures on keys? MEH. The Tactus makes sense, but the optimus? Expensive toy.

              "If you claim it, someone will believe it." It's a common marketing fallacy, along with most of what passes for 'reality' to people in Marketing. I'm apparently not one of the herd. It looks like a perfectly average keyboard, though the blank keypad version is a new twist. I have a few old customers I'd like to give one to, of the sort who really should have packed up the PC on receipt and returned it.

                    When would you ever need to press 12 keys at once? The average human, believe it or not, only has 10 fingers.

                        I love my DAS, I've been using it for about a year now. The feel of the keys is awesome and the blankness of the keys is just fantastic, I can't stop asking myself "How much more black could that get?". Russell
