    I'd love to have a go with one - haven't been able to. What I dont get is what happens when you actually want to type something?

    I tried one out at EGN on Thursday. The idea is good one, bnut I have a feeling its been poorly done.

    The keys feel spongy and not as responsive as a normal keyboard. I like the idea of a dedicated layout to get all the other keys out of the way, but not sure it has mass market appeal.

    Plus, with some of the better keyboards, you lose things like a scroll wheel right next to the wsad keys... like mine has...
