I actually kind of like this keyboard....looks like it'd be easy to paint the chassis, and 65% is my favorite layout (plus I appreciate anytime a keyboard is NOT in bog standard black)

They really need a new logo, it clashes so hard with this KB's design.
Agreed, it does look toyish and all it would take is a different, moar serious-looking font...

OTOH, I do like it's brushed metal top plate. Now if they would just make in a full-sized version, for those of us that do stuff other than gammin with our 'puters, like, maybe... w.O.r.K....

yea I know that's a bad word around here, but just sayin :D
