Interesting features:

Matias Click Mechanical Keyswitches. ("ALPS-inspired design"). 〔see Keyboard Key Switch Mechanisms〕
Compact design, no number pad keys.
2 extra USB ports.
Laser etched keys. They don't wear off. 〔see Key Label Printing Tech〕
Unicode characters printed on the keys, to be used with Mac's ⌥ option key to type these characters. This is fantastic, because now you can easily type it without having to turn on Keyboard Viewer to find where is the char you want.

This one got bad reviews. Common complain is that key repeats or not register.
