Thats seriously cool.

Is there a price for the keyboard yet? I cant see any, is it still the price of a high-end mobile?

You just no its going to be kick ass, if its dynamic enough can you imagine playing games with it, or doing graphic works where your eyes just change for you and make it so much easier.

Dam nice

Price on the site they say - "Current price for a decent mobile phone"

forgive me for being negative, but I cant see a benefit to this over and above the programable multimedia keys on any current keyboard other than that its prettier

Admittedly keys with changable pretty pictures on look cool, but TBH I wouldnt pay extra for that. Am I missing something?

yep -from what I can tell you can program the whole keyboard & then at the press of a key the whole layout can change so that you can have several different setups with different keys programed for different task - i.e. you could push the quake key & the keyboard can switch to quake mode, or DVD watching mode, or flight sim mode etc...

Ive got a real use for this sort of feature & so will probably buy the keyboard  at some point after it is released (want to make sure there are no problems with it first)

Nah, fair enough, partly a novelty value but tbh it ownes any current as mentioned it can even react to programs, currently they say in photoshop for example your whole keys adjust when you click a tool for example.
I forget what combo keys are for things, is it ctrl f or alt f etc.
Games its pure real nice control for fast things - numbers hold weapons, but what weapons did you put in those slots - you could have the weapon logo showing on the key.
Programming web it will be dam usefull as well over current program keyboards.

OLEDs do m8, they look dam sweet live, but get the flicker on the tv and vids, its 1st gen so im sure they may correct that
