I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my "throw in a bag and take into the office" keyboard.

So I guess the question is why arrange the keys like that? What benefits do you get by splitting the letters down the middle like that?

I suppose splitting them puts leas strain on your wrists. I find with my preonic that my wrists are angled in, but I suppose thats the same as any keyboard. Not sure what this key layout is though.
