Any chance you could provide a picture of it or a link to something similar?
Lately I've been using a chromebook with arch whenever I use a laptop ( luckily it's not too often ), and while they keyboard isn't completely awful, going from mechanicals at work and home to a chicklet keyboard is annoying at best. I've been looking for a decent portable mechanical keyboard to throw in my backpack, but so far a densely keyed (not sure if that's the right term?) tenkeyless is the best I've found, and I'm having a hard time imagining a keyboard with all the "extra" keys being almost pocket sized, unless you're bringing back JNCO ;).
It takes a long time to learn since it's a pretty big divergence from the conventional design. It only has 42 keys, but with the fn layer (activated with the thumb rather than an awkward pinky reach you normally see on laptops) you can still hit all the keys you need. The other upside is apart from being much smaller it also means your fingers never have very far to reach, so it's also more comfortable.
