I'm holding you to that.

Solid gold with Olde Englishe lettering and fuzzy dice, actually.
Do I get a free mahogany cane with each purchase?

That's quite the black metal. The cases will be made of wolframite, I assume?
I must say I do really like the look of the Jalapeno mock-up rendering. I don't like the Mexican-style cartoon Jalapeno's on the front but I think the logo by itself on the top middle looks great. Not to suck up to BFL but I do think their corporate logo looks quite elite and well suited for this market. I'd love for the Single SC's I have on order to have the same minimalist styling with the logo by itself on the top or front (since the fan vent is probably on top).
Won't the BFL logo get all greasy when we fry bacon on the top?
Just don't do it while still in bed, or you'll burn your foot.

I actually kind of like that. Nice work!

Oh, they're reprogrammable? One would have thought they'd mention that on their sales spiel.
Definitely going to get one now. I love the Cherry MX switches. As you said, not quite an M, but near enough.

An empty mug, a Truly Ergonomic Keyboard, some fake watches and two Apple TV boxes with a photoshopped jalapeno logo.
Real watches, but good catch on the TE keyboard. :-)
How are they in use? I was thinking about getting one, but as a touch typist the placement of the shift keys really weirds me out.
You'll see the white labels where I had to make backspace and tab very prominent. I've remapped many of the keys (and use a colemak layout), so the left space is command, etc. Shift is surprisingly comfortable.
If you look at their standard key mapping, they put \,|,/,?,`,~, and quotes in really odd places. Tab, backspace, and enter are a bit of a pain (missing tab and hitting backspace a couple times sucks when coding) and I've remapped the left space bar to Command. Since it's trivial to remap keys, it would have been nice to have something "conventional", but it beats having wrist pain at any rate.
They're noisy, even with the 'silent' cherry key option. Not as loud as an M, but much louder than, say, a flat Apple keyboard.
I will say, though, that after getting up to about 50% normal speed, I've noticed that my wrists are much more comfortable with the matrix key layout. I've gone through a lot of keyboards, and this one has the advantage of superior ergo and a small desktop footprint.
