    Killer Keyboard, OLED Keys

    The Optimus Keybaord
    http://www.artlebedev.ru/portfolio/optimus/

    This is a killer KB, uses OLED or electrophosphorescence, I think it could change the face of KB's altogether. I hpoe this catches on, as it not only looks cool, but is extremely handy.

    That is by far the coolest keyboard I have ever seen...I don't want to think of the cost though!

    But the only thing you really have at this point of time though.

    I do...especially if it had remappable keys like that one does down the left.

    I don't want to think, when you consider all the OLED screens and then you're going to need some fairly complex electronics to use them all...

    Costs aside, I mean if this takes off, the prices will come down to reasonable prices, however methinks this is the next step for KB's why buy specificly key'd boards when you can gt this one. I mean the possibilies are nearly endless. It can be mapped for games, QWERTY, or DVORAK or whatever else you can dream up. I am looking to get one as soon as it comes available for me.

    I agree, that's way cool. As a touch typest, I doesn't mean much to me in terms of office applications, but this could be a big deal for gaming. Imagine all your keys going red when you die. LOL!
