Yep, these are awesome! I'm typing on #82 of the first model01 run and it's the first keyboard I can mash on all day without fatigue. I've tried a happy hacker keyboard a maltron, one of the microsoft ergo keyboards, several corsairs and the model01 has bested them all from my experience. For me the killer app was being able to remap the large function buttons (under the meaty part of both thumbs) to the enter and shift keys. Those changes coupled with having the escape key activated with an index finger seriously changed my life. From what I'm reading in the other comments there are other keyboards that might allow the same type of mods but I honestly stopped looking once I got this one. Yeah, I'm a total fanboy, and it should be said that there are folks who were not able to get used to the layout, but for me it was worth the investment.
