The few. The proud. The uTron owners.

How do you like that keyboard webwit? Is it worth the price?

If you're into keyboard porn, it is worth the price and delivers the best porn you can wish for. Another story of small series vs tooling costs. But build quality and attention to detail is fantastic. I haven't really used it much, you need to dedicate yourself to this keyboard like you need to do with the Datahand or the Kinesis keyboards. I'm still looking for a 6 month spot in my agenda to do that.

With a layout like that I would also certainly need enough time to adjust. What's even worse is that when used to such a keyboard, how can you go back to a 'normal' layout?

I find that not to be a problem with the Datahand. It's a different thing. What's difficult if keyboards are near identical but have differences in layout. For example, all keyboards have Del in the wrong space, except the HHKB...

This. Moving to the HHKB is easy; going from the HHKB to a regular keyboard is much more difficult.
