Well, I'm assuming OLED. But man, look at it. Live updating of functions for keys...that Quake display is neat.

I'm sure that is all there will be in 20 years, but how often do you look at your keyboard anyway?

heck, i can see other gaming applications for this where you actually play the keyboard itself during some sequences in the game.....hacking-style mini games will be so much more fun with this kind of set-up

yeah, for real

that would be awesome stuff. other types of games could be formed or better realised with this type of keyboard

It's the Revolution controller! You heard it here first.

That's an incredibly neat design, but I can't imagine how it could be made in an even remotely affordable manner. Plus, with the beatings an average keyboard endures, it doesn't make alot of sense to pump alot of money into one. How neat will those little OLED keys look once they've become worn down and coated with months of Taco Bell grease? Still, I can't deny the awesomeness of having a skinnable keyboard - it could bring all new meaning to my "girl let me touch you" backgrounds.

This is quite possibly the sexiest thing I have ever seen.

I won't go that far... but damn that is DEAD sexy....

Context-sensitive user-interfaces? Yes please! This is nothing "new", but it is quite sexy.

The keyboard looks great, but that mouse they designed looks borderline unusable :lol

It was designed for Mac users. They don't know any better anyway :lol

The Giant supermarket near me USED to have cash registers with keys like this. They eventually got rid of them. I think it's because cashiers could enter codes directly into a numeric keypad faster than navigating a heirarchy of keys.

I want this keyboard. So sexy...
But what the hell is this mouse?! :lol
