Definitely looks to be from a DEC terminal of some kind, based from the switches and layout :D

Well this is the dumbest thing I've read. If I needed confirmation to stay on Plasma, this is it.

I've heard keyboards that use dome with slider designs, like Packard Bell keyboards, are about as cheap as generic non-mechanical keyboards, but avoid the mushy bottom-out, making the typing experience infinitely better.

Nothing in the article indicated that this is a mechanical keyboard.

This is some generic rubber-dome over membrane keyboard.

On fullsize keyboards, Num Lock is less useful than Scroll Lock.

These are just things that most generic keyboards already have.

I see no reason why anyone should buy this keyboard over the one that probably came with their computer.

Unique features, like doubleshot keycaps, N-key rollover, layers and macros, actuation that is seperated from the bottom-out, good build quality, and more can all be found on a decent mechanical keyboard.

Also, mechanical keyboards don't have to be loud! Linear and tactile Matias switches, Cherry MX/Gateron silents, and Topre are all great keyswitches that are as quiet, if not more, than your standard rubber dome.
