I have three Avant Stellars, have used them for more than a year now, and
love em. Dead ringers for Northgate Omnikeys (they bought the molds). Only
thing is, they're expensive, around US$189, which is almost unconscionable.
But its a programmable keyboard with F-keys on the left, very well made, and
for that I'm willing to pay, not once, but thrice. The only drawback is that
the programming must be done under Win95.
