Yes, yes, I bought two keyboards this week SO BITE ME. (See my Matias Tactile review.) My hands like to have a change every few days, and I wanted a contrast to the Matias. This is it. It is fantastic and as good as the Matias in a completely different way. It is extremely well made - it weighs a ton, actually, which makes it very stable when you are typing quickly. It is sooooo pretty. You can make it all grey and white if you want WHY? WHY? WHY? (they include spare, sober keycaps) but I like it in its native CMYK colours. The cyan, magenta, and yellow keys are in beautiful contrast to the grey on white, and there is a funky purple Win key, and a groovy orange Function key to control backlighting etc. For the first time I am trying SAKURA SWITCHES V2, which are quite dreamy. They feel light and buttery to the touch. The noise they make is not quite a clack and not quite a thwock, and not quite a snap. It is somewhere between all three. I really, really like it. The whole keyboard is uplifting. The Matias makes me feel very grown up and North American. This keyboard makes me feel young and professional and lively; as if it's 2.30am in downtown Tokyo. I'm starring in my own Lost In Translation. It's 優れた Every keyboard should make you feel something, and this keyboard makes you feel everything. Highly recommended.
