I bet you it's one of those product that can do absolutley everything but one basic function, like it can keep track of your blood preasure and your blog comments but it doesn't have a caps lock.
Do you guys remember the Optimous keyboard?? (it was called optimous? i really cant recall).
It also had the keys that changed depending on the application.
Anyone?

Yeah the Optimus Prime keyboard or whatever it was called, it's been in development for as long as duke nukem forever and is still gonna cost a grand, looks a lot cooler than this thing though.
I remember the Optimus. All the keys were OLEDs. I think it cost about $1500. Looked cool. I think the first ones are about to ship, as I remember seeing the pre-orders for them.
I'm fine using a $20 keyboard. Though if I wiped my ass with hundreds, i'd probably have 5 of those now.
Okay, so WHY does a keyboard cost as much as a midsize sedan?
Unless I get some Shadowrun-esque keyboard that can let me run around in the virtual world, and have nanotechnology that regenerates the keys when I get pissed off and smash it... I think I'll stick with the $30 keyboard.

I've got total nerd-wood for this keyboard. Of course, you could sell me just about anything if you put a screen on it. :D
I so wanted an optimus keyboard. But with the prices they were talking about, they could fuck right off.
Just watched the video, and it doesn't look practical for use as an actual keyboard. All the other shit it does is pretty amazing, though.
This could be accomplished on a regular keyboard by taking off all the letters and numbers and putting them back where you want.
This will be mine one day... when it becomes standard to have keyboards with displays and turntables

Already ahead of you on that idea, as I'm now using Dvorak instead of shitty QWERTY as my primary keyboard layout, and it really does feel more efficient. I rearranged the keys on one of my keyboards to help me learn when I started, but I've memorized the entire layout, so I don't need to look for keys now. It's more confusing to other people if I use Dvorak on a keyboard with QWERTY labels anyways, and thats how I prefer it.
Personally, I want a KeyMatrix keyboard more than either the Optimus or this insane control board, but I can't even afford it's $110 price right now. Native Dvorak and better design FTW!
