the Keyboard

Some first impressions:
• Note the gaps between columns.
• The pinky column, is vertically offset to a lower position.
• Huge Alt Space keys, 2 on each side. Great.
• Big Ctrl Shift keys, in middle.
• Full physical function keys F1 to F12, in groups of 4. Nice.
• Extra Ctrl key at corners, as the traditional location for control key.
Open Key Design

Keycaps

The keycap material is PC+ABS plastic, with two-colour injection molding, for the pale-white key labels that the LED lights will shine thru.
This is the best tech. It means, the key labels will never wear off.
