Working fine so far too. It's quite solid. Maybe because the frame is so nice and compact for a fullsize keyboard, this just feels like a hefty dense slab. There's an aura of competency about the Code Keyboard.
Code Keyboard's Jeff Atwood has said "if you want to become a great programmer, start by becoming a great typist" (http://blog.codinghorror.com/we-are-typists-first-programmers-second/)
If you spend a lot of time entering text, a keyboard is not an accessory. It sits front and center, not a peripheral peripheral. It's really evident that a lot of thoughtful engineering went into designing the Code Keyboard as a sensible and reliable tool, not as a checklist of gimmicks.
Build quality and features aside, typing experience is subjective. The keyfeel and keysound are significantly different from others switches I've used (buckling spring, Alps, Topre, MX Blue, Mathias Quiet Click), so I'm going to need more time to get acquainted.
