Keycaps on SIIG SuperTouch 101?

I ran across this SIIG SuperTouch 101 keyboard, and I was wondering about the shape of the keycap tops. Is it just the light playing tricks, or are these quasi-spherical? They don't look quite like cylindrical tops to me. I was not able to find much information about this keyboard.

Standard cylindrical like one many other chicony etc. Hope you aren't considering the one on Amazon for 150$. :P

Thanks. I guess my eyes were deceiving me. The pic is from the one featured on Amazon, but I am not seriously considering it at that price!

Just curious -- does anyone know the difference (if any) between the SIIG Supertouch 101 and the SIIG Suntouch 101?

BTW, I have a Suntouch Jr, and the typing feel is excellent -- one of the best I have ever tried.

I've sometimes been unsure about a key cap top style in the past, but I think it's likely because a lot of Alps key caps tend to be a bit more rounded at the edges than Cherry-profile caps, somewhat similar to DCS :)

I'm unsure when it comes to the difference betweem the two boards though! I have mainly seen Suntouches and have often confused them for Sun microsystems products. :P
