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!

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.

Im not sure that would make it all that much more, they can visualise and control it as though it where a "monitor"

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!

That thing is pretty sweet. I would definitely be in the market for one.

i saw above some people doubt it's function, i dont. i work in graphic industry and am often wresteling with the quik-key-combinations of every program (diffirent in every singel program) so by showing an icon on a cirtain key really helps.
it's indeed useless for gaming since thats all about feel, ou dont have time to watch your keyboard for wich key to press. but for aplications it's a whole in the market atm. im looking forward to the time this is mainstream.
