To put it simply, the aluminum case on this keyboard is a work of art. An incredibly intricate construction, the TrackPoint, Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and USB hub are all mounted to the back of the case, leaving only a single screw on the front. As with all other TEX aluminum cases, it is extremely solid and constructed with maximum precision. The mounting plate and PCB are also incredibly sophisticated, as they are designed to be modular and work with multiple layouts. If you want to have shorter shift or enter keys, the PCB has several spots to place your switches.
