My other Cherry keyboard I love is some sort of "gaming" model.  That means they print the key legends on the *front* of the keys, not the tops.  I know not why.  The tactile feel of it is even better than the WASD (it very closely mimics the Courier 3270-clone keyboards), but I just can't use the damn thing because my eyes have no point of reference, and I need that even when I touch type.  (When I get out of sync, specifically.)
