I've not, but I hope to be getting one soon and I'll be sure to let

I tried to order one like 6 months ago... it was basically impossible
to find anyone who had any in stock at the time.  All of Amazon.com's

They're abso - feckin -lutely awesome.
Saved my life when i got RSI, and the chords (for things like capslock/
shift/cmd/alt) continue to make my life easier.

they detect motion rather than pressure , so you can rest your hands on them.
not having to move around for the mouse saves a terrific amount of wear and tear
on the tendons too...

Remappable to Dvorak too without having to bother the computer.
