I'm typing on an UHK v1 right now. I've been using it for a year or so and I love it. As the other commenter said is just a really high quality split keyboard with great software.

I would really recommend anyone who looks into buying one to also buy the palm rest since it's a pretty thick keyboard. I use a tenting setup and I don't think I would be able to do it comfortably without the palm rests.

A few months ago the key cluster arrived as well - it feels kind of gimmicky though since all I use it for is play/pause/next song and to switch to my chat workspace. Others might have better use for it though. The scroll wheel is nice but I'm already used to the mouse layer on the keyboard, so I seldom use it.

My only gripe is the USB-connection. The v1 uses a mini-USB connection that I felt would be the first thing to break on the keyboard (since the rest of the keyboard feels like it would outlive me), so I soldered one of those magnetic cable heads to the keyboard and bought a few cables that I have lying at every desktop I use, "mag-safe".
