    Neat keyboard

    I though one of the bottom keys was the transformers logo for a second.

    ... but what's with the 'CRTL' spelling in the bottom-left?

    Isn't it CTRL - short for Control? :confused:

    There's a blog post about it at www.thenextbench.com; apparently the reason for the change is a "secret."

    Yeah Voodoo is master when it comes to "spin". It does remind me of the powerbook but then VoodooPC has been trying to copy Apple since the OMEN days which had the perforated/compartment design taken from the MacPro case. As they say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". ;)

    For the record, that font won't be on the released version of the Envy 133, not will that keyboard.

    The font has since changed from that proto-photo. :)
