I owned couple of those novelty keyboards and ultimately forfeited all of them for the weird reason: latency. I didn't know it was latency at first. It just like keyboard is faulty, it's losing keys, or producing more than it should.
But then I stumbled upon (I believe) article about keyboard latency[1] and it all started to make sense. I switched to native keyboards and never looked back.
In case you're wondering what's my typing speed - I was wondering too and finished some random web based typing test which told me I'm peaking at 160WPM.
Looks so awesome. So many of these really nice looking Kinesis Advantage looking keyboards tend towards columnar layouts, not staggered, and that's run me aground both times I've tried it. :/ I'm envious though!
