I can't say that I agree with the 'incredible' tag.

I think it looks awful.

Looks pretty good to me!

[Pyroman]

Totally agree thats a piece of funiture. amazing!

I wonder if the keys make a typewriter like noise. If so, that's a definite purchase from me. Great way to annoy folk.

[K.C.Leblanc]

That's excellent.

Not keen on the orange or the main styling, though I can see the appeal, but like the steampunk(ish) keyboard. If they put it into production, they should do a "brass effect" option. Like this, but for a lot less £:

Meh - it looks very flash but there we go.

 

I'm still looking for a totally flat keyboard - like a giant touchscreen, but a keyboard.

Don't ask why - just have a thing about touchscreen tech

Did this ever get past the concept stage?

If you like this I have some laptops with broken screens I can sell you for £100 each. I'll have them running Linux for you or XP for £150. They'll probably be faster than this as well

What? Who mentioned Enterprise?! I uuuuh... have no idea what you mean.

It looks awful... the PC version of photoshopping Nora Batty's face on wearing nothing but a bin liner.
