...Most important fact not discussed in the owner's manual: it can handle 6 keys pressed simultaneously. You BTC-5339 owners, this is the keyboard to go.
I own this keyboard for more than a year. Spilled soda pop on it, dropped heavy object on it, and it still works all right.
It is somewhat larger than normal keyboards, because it accomodates loads of extra macro/multimedia keys, LCD display, USB hub. Ships with detachable wrist support, very comfortable.
LCD Display
Windows support:

Linux Support:
There is a module that provides basic scripting interface, you can have your own scripts displaying whatever you want.

Advantages: Reliable and fairly cheap Disadvantages: None I can think of
...I came across this type of CDR when I once again offered to burn a few CD for a mate if he provided the blank CDR's. After my experience with the BTC CDR media (see other review) I was cautious of this media as this mate also picked it up cheap in town. I was however pleasantly suprised by this media. I achieved 100% success in burning the CD's and since then the discs have remained perfectly reliable. Since then the burnt CD's have remained perfectly reliable. The only one i've lost is kinda my fault for landing a heavy object on it from a great height.
I would recommend this type of CDR to anyone as a reliable inexpensive option - especially for an 80min CDR. Probably a best buy out of the CDR's that I have actually used....
