Just thought I'd throw out this website. I found it a while ago (after finding out that it is the source of several ThinkGeek products) but never thought to post it here. Their recent release of the Optimus Maximus keyboard has aroused my interest and wishes for funds with which to purchase it. As for now, however, I will suffice with the Das II Keyboard.

More on Keyboards
Well, I hooked up the ol' Das II keyboard again. However, this time I did it when I went into BootCamp. And when I booted back into OS X, lo and behold Macintosh surprises me again! When you reboot without the Apple keyboard attached, it puts the button to eject a disk (The main reason I had previously not used this keyboard) along the top bar! I'm sure those (nonexistent) persons who read this will be thinking "duh!" but I was surprised.
Note: I had previously only had the Das keyboard and the Apple keyboard hooked up at the same time. I had not previously disconnected the Apple keyboard. As such, I am not 100% sure that you need a reboot to have the eject button appear.
Update: Another "duh!" moment... I knew this, but had forgotten it. Holding F12 also opens the SuperDrive. You don't need an eject key or button. Duh.
