Awhile ago I remember hearing that they were having some financial problems because essentially they never had repeat customers: buy one keyboard and you'll never need another.
Yeah. I'm in the market for a new keyboard and am thinking about a TKL. Just spent some time on the Unicomp site looking for a TLK version to no avail.
On the downside, no idea when it will actually ship, and significantly more expensive than Unicomp.
And if they don't want to rejigger to do backlit keys, they could add a USB hub with three ports: one for a mouse, one for a USB stick or such, and one for a USB-powered LED lamp.
I'd buy that.

Sneaky.
But that clears the "twenty years", five years ago that would have been accurate.
