Love it or hate it?
Definitely looks appealing, but got to use it before I make my conclusion.
Actually, the whole thing looks pretty stiff and delicate–like you need to be careful when handling it (or risk accidentally hitting who-knows-what key and loosing your place in the UI.) I’d like to see a more “soft” approach to these things. Even soft keydomes like on traditional remotes! Think about what you surround yourself with when watching TV… Pillows, blankets, pets… Also think about the interior of cars–full of soft touchable materials and finishes.
Not to slam MS on this, because I haven’t seen anybody do these things yet.
i got a cherry and it’s pretty good. it also got a noise gate/USB combo.
