Well i paid the import tax/customs fee and handling charge, and Parcelforce delivered it today! Here's a quicky pic before i rip it open. I'll update soon with more!

A silly question because we’ll see in the pictures; but how many active keys did you pay for?

ukdave · 18 Mar 2008 at 13:56

the full amount

GhostlyPea · 18 Mar 2008 at 13:59

So about £800? Mental...

Emlyn_Dewar · 18 Mar 2008 at 14:04

Money on it being horrible to type on?

It may look nice but £800 for a keyboard is absolute madness. That's the price of a high end pc!!

Morrey360 · 18 Mar 2008 at 14:16

wow £800 notes for a keyboard :eek:

Kyle009 · 18 Mar 2008 at 14:18

Crikey, £800 on a keyboard is a lot but this does look one special keyboard!

Can't wait to see more pictures

I've been keeping my eye on this since it was concept, really looking forward to seeing some real life shots! Don't know if I could bring myself to spend that much on one though..

Cosmic182 · 18 Mar 2008 at 14:25

OMFG 800 quid !!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :eek:

ukdave · 18 Mar 2008 at 14:35

There is a US and EU cable, but no UK one

I have a Euro plug adaptor for leccy toothbrush but the PSU is rated slighly higher than the plug adaptop re: amps, so i'm gunna pop out and get one that can handle it, or a new fuse. This thing is so bright and clean looking, i can see it needing regular cleansing! Back soonish hopefully.

shame it can't run from multiple usb ports instead of needing a psu

-edit, nice upgrade from your crappy old dell keyboard or whatever it is!

Was thinking that. Especially for the price its a pity it doesnt have an internal power brick and come with a UK adapotor...
