    Well I tried to rep you both because I was feeling generous and you couldn't yourself. But I could only do Yslen, sorry George :hehe:

    I kind of like the look of it, but there are several drawbacks. The tall, skinny font is kind of cool, and the layout is interesting, but the odd bit at the top, the glossy plastic and the rounded design don't do it any favours, in my opinion.

    This, with a squared off design, matte finish and without that bizarre protrusion and it would be a nice little board.

    Well, that has a nice square design and a matte finish. The protrusion might have been necessary then for some reason, but that's not a good reason to copy it now as far as I'm concerned. It's ugly.

    I agree about Matias keyboards. I didn't like that style back in the day, and their instance on still using the styling of the 2000 Apple Pro model puts me off completely.

    Seems like there is always some aspect of Alps (or Alps like switch) based keyboards that is heinous (ugly, terrible layouts, needlessly bulky, etc.) which is fine since I haven't tried them because of. Keeps me from collecting more damn keyboards.

    Looks beautiful.

    I do like the good old Cherry boards in general, lovely font and caps and just general big size makes for a cosy board.

    Yeah they are a bit :p I still like them, though I don't know If I would buy one.

    What sandpaper did you use to lift the logo from you hhkb? and while you said it feels different, does it look any different? I want to take a logo off a black board that is just printed on.
