#2Is it new? It just looks the same to the ones we have been using in our College for the last four years or so.

#3This keyboard has been out for ages, unless I am missing something here?
On a side note, hated my B-unit, always took 5+ lengthy swipes to register.

Maybe they just posted it because they thought it was interesting. Although the "new" keyword in the title may be misleading.

#7These keyboards are ergonomically awful: an undifferentiated mass of completely flat buttons, with crappy keyswitches. Makes them slow and error prone. You can tell no one involved in the design process spent any time thinking about human hand anatomy. On the upside, production costs should be pretty cheap.
People making devices for “professionals” should take inspiration from keyboards produced in the 1970s–80s, which are generally much nicer than anything on the market today.
In the same general market, WEY makes much nicer keyboards than Bloomberg, e.g. http://www.weytec.com/en/products/wey-keyboards/mk06-keyboar...

#8These keyboards are so unpleasant. At one point I wished I could get keycaps printed for a different keyboard, but now it doesn't matter as I've memorized the keys anyway.

Not everyone works in finance and/or is familiar with Bloomberg terminals (like me). I think this is pretty interesting since Bloomberg, unlike most application developers, has taken their UX to the point where they're building application-specific hardware (though I understand a lot of that is basically legacy inertia).
Also, programmers seem to be far more interested in keyboards as a subject that most people.
I also thought the B-unit is interesting, it's different than any other authentication device I've used.

Being interesting is fine. But being misleading with a title is not. I can't imagine the backlash a title like "Brand new programming language from Google" would get if it was talking about Go.
