So it's basically a 60% plus function keys, a mousepad at least as wide as the keyboard, and a giant wrist rest. Meant to use on your lap. MX switches.

Novel idea. For gaming it might be OK but I can't imagine it being very comfortable to use for typing being off-centre like that. A media centre controller perhaps? Maybe too bulky for that.

No arrow keys? Errrr, okay.

I guess they only play FPSes...

I kind of like the idea. Having stuff on my lap seems to be a pretty ergonomic height. I do it with my Kinesis all the time.

Ah. the top of the keyboard is the plate, with exposed switches. So this is a rendering and there would be a lot of light-bleed in real life (like on Costar keyboarads).Plus, all legends on the keys would not be as evenly lit as here.

Or trick photography-- run the board's LEDs at relatively low brightness to limit light-bleed, then take a 5 second exposure.
