Keyboard to end all keyboards?!

[Graeme]

I think so :). Just look at this beauty!

It's just a design, but ... wow. The keys are completely programmable. You could set up 30 different themes for the different applications and games you use based on the most comfortable key organization. If this thing gets out and it's not in the hundreds, I'm definitely going to pick one up!

[Modred]

Oh wow, that is awesome. I am so going to get one of those. And someone uses Semagic to post on LiveJournal! (one of the program icons on the keyboard)

[kongurous]

Heh... that is gonna be fucking awesome.

[GrassDragon]

...I want one. Cool keyboards are a must have. There are screens on the keys!!

Another cool one that I found a while back is the TouchStream (http://www.fingerworks.com/) (it's at the very bottom of the page). The entire surface of the keyboard is actually a touch pad. It's a mouse, programmable keyboard, and drawing tablet all in one! But as I look at the website it says it no longer sells them :\

[Modred]

http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/mus/ is interesting too. It's a one button mouse in the shape of an arrow cursor. Why you would want it? Style?

[Black.Ice]

That is really sweet... The uses of that are amazing. However, my keyboard becomes a mess every few months. I wonder how hard that thing would be to clean.

[Nuts]

Oh....my.....shit.

Too bad it's only a design prototype.

[Whiteknight]

Gimme! So incredibly sweet... I'd just spend most of my time making designs for it. Hell, do you know how easy it would be to learn the better keyboard layout on that thing? Oh, if only it would come out.

[TheGreatBrain]

Ho-ly shit. That is fucking sweet.

[Neo]

I want I want I want!!! Lol, I can garuntee you though that it will cost more then $150 (well at least more then $100 >_>)

But holy shit, that would be so awesome to have! The uses... *Droooolllll*....

Do you think they will actually ocme out wiht that ??? if it ever does man thats number one on my next shopping list W00T

[Modred]

It says patents pending, so apparently they have plans to market (or sell the patent and let someone else market). Let's just hope it gets out in a timely fashion...

[GrassDragon]

It also looks like their Russian. Let's hope they sell to the States for an appropriate shipping cost (ha!).

[Sikawtic]

O_O. I'm genna go with the crowd and say "gimme now".

[Toucan]

DAMN, give me 2, I need 2.
That the wife and I don't start fighting over the PC's, we do to, we are both old gamers from way back LOLOL

[Aquarian]

Sweet!I'm gonna make sure santa gives me that.....Or he'll pay...:)

[bluemicrobyte]

wow, very nice! I want one! This, plus those new 2-way LCD screens... we ARE in the future =D and the future is shiney :)

Did I mention I want one of those keyboards? Only thing is the enter button is a little out of place... but I could get used to it.

Only thing I wonder about is a virus that messes up your keyboard....
