    I don't understand the overwhelming praise. This product is just bizarre. Who is this for?

    What's with the giant numbers and tiny symbols? I know where the numbers are from muscle memory. I don't have the symbols memorized.

    Haptic feedback when you use the command key? Why?

    No number pad or page up/page dn, which would be something useful.

    This is like The Homer of keyboards. Does it play La Cucaracha out of the speaker if you push the knob four times?

    You clearly have the technical capabilities but the product requirements are bonkers.

      It's made for keyboard enthusiasts. Give it a shot. Maybe you'll be one of them.
