#2I really don't see anything special about this keyboard. It's backlit and mechanical. Seems like it's been done a hundred times already.

I agree. I hope WASD starts making custom backlit keycaps though

#4What I would really like is a version of the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard, that is backlit + mechanical. And WIRED, please, I hate wireless keyboards.

#5I really can't think of anything good to say about this keyboard. I've used keyboards like this, and I've damaged my body with them. You know what matters a lot more than a backlight? Ergonomic design. Get a Kinesis Advantage instead.

#6I was hoping for a mechanical keyboard laid out like the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. This one looks just like every other mechanical keyboard.

#7Since he mentions Elon Musk, I just want to point out that this keyboard is about the cost of 1 share of TSLA.
Re: The CODE Keyboard
#8This looks like any typical mechanical keyboard, like a DasKeyboard. I don't see what sets it apart?
I have 4 Microsoft Ergo 7000s in case they ever stop making them.

#9Edit: Turns out they have a variant without the numpad, should have bothered looking for one! So, actually an interesting device. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/code-87-key-mechanica...
I'd be interested in this if it didn't have a numpad, or maybe a detachable numpad.
I guess everyone has their individual RSI issues, but after experimenting with various devices, I noticed that mine were caused _exclusively_ by that silly old numpad thing I never use anyway. It forced me to place either the keyboard too far to the left or the mouse too far to the right, causing strain in either my left or right hand over time.
I really don't see what use a programmer (or any touch typist) might have for the numpad. I really don't see why they put one on this keyboard.

I'm with you. I need something like the Egro keyboard, or my hands die with pain.
And, because I'm a dork, I'd really like one that has no keys printed on it. [1] But that's just because I like showing off.
