If you're want a decent keyboard at the price of £10, your choice is great. If you want something more technological, you can buy Optimus. It's like the difference between cheap chinese car and Audi. It's worth it, and if you need such functionality, why not? Well, the price is not really a point.

It can be easily modified, and I reckon, there will be no problem placing brand logos as your key icons just the way you want it.

I like the idea, but I'll be damned if I'll use anything with the Twitter brand on it. How about the Target logo or something? Throw some more options up there to customize and it would be pretty cool. What's that "U" for? It would be cool if the company built one you could customize yourself.
