I do like the Ducky Shine, but this is a 100% custom design that Weyman and I came up with. It's not supposed to look radically different, but much cleaner and minimalistic. The details matter.
Please go radically different next time! Now you've worked out the details you can go all out on the next model. Might I suggest this: http://m.kbdmod.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=12&cate...
"Availability: In stock" at the top of the page, and then below in the product description says "We are now SOLD OUT".
So which is it?
Also surprised that the key caps are ABS plastic instead of PBT at this price point or at least there's no option for that.
Nevermind though; I'm going to wait for a few reviews of this to be posted. (Someone please post a review if you get one!)
The disable switches on the back of the keyboard are a very nice touch but beyond that, there is a lot from the ad that's standard fare for higher end keyboards these days. That price really needs to go down by 20-30$ for it to stay competitive beyond the initial rush of Atwood fans.

I've got two Model M keyboards at home. I could threaten to beat you with one for disagreeing that it's the best thing ever, knowing full well I could continue writing scathing retorts online with it immediately after, but I won't... Because it's not the best ever /for everyone/. I have an Apple keyboard at work. I don't love or hate it. I'm indifferent to it. But I can totally understand why it may be the right keyb…

Yes, but your time-unit won't change if you get a Kinesis Advantage over a regular keyboard, so, even per time-unit, it's still more expensive.
If there is pain involved with one option, then it's logical to assume that time will change. When I do get wrist pain, it does cut into how I use my time.

I don't understand the fascination with keyboards by software developers. I spend a lot more of my day thinking, testing, navigating code, etc, than I do punching keys. There are a lot of professions where keyboard interaction is critical but I don't think software development is one of them.
navigating code I do this with the keyboard (vim)
I'm still waiting to buy a mechanical keyboard with a TrackPoint. Until then, the ThinkPad external USB keyboard [1] is perfect. Its big delete key is great, too. [1] http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/55Y9003/460/60AC6A0...
I really don't see anything special about this keyboard. It's backlit and mechanical. Seems like it's been done a hundred times already.

The Model M uses buckling springs. Rubber domes are the cheap keyboards you get for $10.
Not quite, the 'Model M' actually refers to a collection of keyboards, some of which used rubber domes (see column 2 of [1] for a quick reference) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M#Features_by_part_numbe...
