I've briefly tried one before. It's cool, but your fingers still don't hit 
the keys you expect them to. For example, the rows are not shifted 
laterally, as they are on a standard keyboard -- it's a grid. It will be 
awkward for a day or two or three.

I ordered the one that comes with Qwerty-Dvorak dual-legend keys. So, 
maybe I'll teach myself Dvorak, too. That would be painful.

But geeky.
