This is a very smart looking keyboard -- aluminum body with black plastic keys and white lettering. There are three LEDs for caps lock etc. It has only the basic 104 keys (no nasty media keys), and these are packed into two even rectangles (i.e. the main set of keys and the numeric keypad). It has an almost flat upper surface, as the keys are barely raised from their surroundings, and they only press down about half as far as those on a standard keyboard. It is much more like a laptop keyboard than your average desktop keyboard, and you can tell that style and quality have been put before usability.
As for compatibility: if you are moving from PS/2 to USB, make sure that USB Keyboard Support is enabled in your BIOS before you swap them over.
I have the same kb and it refuses it work. "usb_control/bulk_msg:timeout" messages flood at boot and the usb devices refuses to accept usb device various addresses.
