Has anyone used one of these?

Essentially it's a keyboard that renders a mouse unnecessary. It looks really, really, really really neat.

Amazon has them for $264 and they have a 30-day return policy. Seriously considering trying it. I've always dreamed of not having to use a mouse...

Looking at the gestures, it seems using one of these keyboards would make me look like I was using one of the computers from "Minority Report." Except not 3D.

I like having tactile feedback from my keyboard. I tried using my roommate's Dell laptop keyboard and that was too soft for me. cannot imagine typing on a zero feedback one. too much feedback isn't good either, but what I am using right now is just right for me.

might be worth a try though.

looks like a cool toy to have at least.

From the look of it I would hate working on this keyboard. I have a good mechanical keyboard And now I dislike working on a membrane keyboard. I love how each key feel when press. A mechanical keyboard is quick, fast, and efficient. So I would take real pressable keys anytime over touch keyboard. Maybe I would change my mind If I tried one.
