That looks like the keyboards on the typewriters in my old school (back before IT was a common subject). And I second your comment about them not being ergonomic (one of two things about working on the PC at home that I prefer to the office).
Trouble is it's American layout. If you look at the gram weightings you'll see the backslash key is in fact just to the left of backspace - I *hate* that. Otherwise I'd buy one.
Might just take a normal keyboard I like and scrub/spray it to remove the keys though. I never look at the damn thing nowadays anyway :)
It may be blank, but the physical layout of the keys and the corresponding codes the keys generate when hit are fixed. If you look at the weighted layout (http://www.daskeyboard.com/images/keygrams.jpg) and look at at UK keyboard you'll notice there is one more key on the UK keyboard to the left of the Z that isn't on the Das Keyboard. That key is moved on US keyboards to the top right just to the left of the backspace key, which is made smaller to compensate. And I like UK keyboard sized backspace keys and the backslash and pipe to the left of the Z key thank you very much.
