BTW, is that really a middle mouse button? I really miss it with trackpad, browsing is so much more inuitive for me with opening straight to tab... ;D

I like the name. What size is the space bar? The Beetle is a bit difficult for custom caps.

Just curious, are those MX switches as mouse buttons? If so I'm not too sure how well that would work, the travel would be a bit too much for rapid clicking.

Very nice, please make bluetooth version. It would be perfect for HTPC and tablets.

I second that.

Though I might want it in a different version anyway, so the major reason to buy one is to get the trackpoint and build a keyboard from scratch.

I'm interested in the Yoda as it is. Dropping the function row is a fine idea. (For the more-is-more crowd, you might as well add a num pad while you're at it…)

Fits quite nice in the number row as a function layer (1 - =)

I really just want to see a keyboard with vim arrow keys :|
