I would love the Walnut grain, with a cherry wood stain, that would look so awesome. Man, why did you have to post this, now it's another 200 bucks I have to justify to the wife lol Great share @Krusty Contacted them, waitnig to see if Cherry wood stain is an option.....
Yeah I noticed that, I edited my post too, waiting to see if a cherry wood stain can be offered or not, will let you know what their feedback is.
A lifetime guarantee sure helps take the sting out of the original price. Oh, and the official website says "US$149". While I am more of a practical person instead of aesthetics, there is something about a finely crafted piece of wood that makes me drool. Still, I wish there was some comment about the "feel" of the keypresses. I like a solid feel with positive feedback. It does not need to "click", but almost and definitely not feel mushy. It's quite small at 30 x 15 x 4cm (11.8 x 5.9 x 1.57 inches). I assume the 4cm/1.57in thickness is at the back. I also wish there was a model with a number pad. The website does not mention anything about stains - only "invisible (matte) food-safe varnish" so I am guessing the only options are the natural maple or walnut "color" of the wood.
Nothing unreasonable about $149 US with a lifetime guarantee. I've paid more for keyboards that don't. I've paid more than that for Logitech junk.
Yes, but most likely, those keyboards contained several, if not many special keys. You probably could control your media player, perhaps zoom in and out, not to mention a number pad. I don't even see common extra keys found on most computer keyboards, like Insert, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn or NumLock. Keys needed for "normal" computing tasks. I wish they had an image from above instead off to the side. Odd too you have to spend $185 to get free shipping. Don't get me wrong, I think it is cool and the workmanship looks top notch. But I've seen small, cheap notebook keyboards that were more practical and functional. Looking great is one thing but it has to do its job too. I think the problem is they needed space between the keys for structural strength. With normal manufactured keyboards, they keys are right next to each other. That allows more keys in the same space.
Apple has made billions on stuff that is more fashionable than functional. It depends on who your target audience is.
