Woah...

Could do so many cool things with that like the colour of button changing when pressed and caps lock making all the keys change case.

The calculator thing looked awesome, saves having to load it up on windows! Wonder if you can draw stuff on it as well?

But... imagine typing a lot of txt with no feedback at all :/

So far the price is $1500 with $10 per replacement key.

This was delayed for so long it was rumoured to be vaporware, but no longer :)

EDIT: I'm thinking about this one

Also seems like I was misinformed on the price. The $1500 mark was from Ars Technica

hmmm looks cool and all but um.... looks like it will cause my fingertips a lot of pain!! Try pretending to type on a hard surface with no buttons for 20 min! Buttons are a must!

Shortor · 01-09-2008, 03:57 PM

I love my Logitech G15.

Xenosaga21 · 01-09-2008, 04:19 PM

I don't like the G keys on that thing takes up to much space, other than that the G15 is cool.

**whitemist** · 01-09-2008, 04:49 PM

wow thats keyboard comes right out of any scifi-book i wish it was cheaper than buying a new graphics card but it definably has my eye on it

!GreyFox! · 01-09-2008, 08:34 PM

Sweet Keyboard...

Why didn't I think of this? lol

**NoPeace** · 01-10-2008, 04:52 AM

This doesn't belong in the news section. As it isn't news.

Ever tried typing on a touch screen phone? It's incredibly fast because you don't have to force it, a tap and it's done.

I moved to a laptop keyboard and I'm so used to it now. Hate having to use normal keyboards as you have to press to hard. No wonder people get rsi!

V2 is gay. I don't hope my keyboard will die any time soon.

I wouldn't use it for prolonged sessions =/
What would be interesting is if they can write custom keyboard layouts for it . . . cause I would kinda of find that thing anoying for gaming (where is that button) you can't feel it . . . theres no texture to know where your hand is on it . . . =/ Don't get me wrong I like it and all its cool . . . but I think a setup like that is gona have you looking down at your keyboard more so than at your screen =/

NobodyWOW · 01-10-2008, 10:13 PM

Woah! Love it, it would be nice to have it. Lol I have a Genius one, half of buttons dont work, time for new one I guess.

cheekiez32 · 01-10-2008, 10:31 PM

Woah.. Theres nothing more I can say but.. THAT LOOKS SO SICK AS.

Depends on the keyboard to be honest. My standard Dell keyboard from 4 years ago is probably the fastest keyboard you can type on. The keys are so easy to push on it and compared to any laptop it's easier to push the keys.

It's a shame really as you can't get a keyboard like that. All of the newer desktop ones are the usual stiff keys that are hard to push and even the new Dell standard keyboards are harder to push.

Not really. You can program the keyboard to place the keys where ever you want. This will allows you to have access to even more keys then before as they can be smaller or larger depending on it's needs.

That would in fact make things a lot easier as with some games that use tons of keys you are looking at the keyboard all the time to find the right hand stuff.
