The ULTIMATE keyboard...

[ShepsCrook]

I'd be in for one.

It would be nice to program the keyboard for different games. Not to mention it would be nice to download new keyboard pictures for different programs. And say you press the Shift key, it would capitalize all of the letters on the keyboard. Or if you use the Ctrl key, it would change a bunch of the keys to pictures of programs you can quick launch.

That would make computing so much nicer.

I agree. Another thing, if the keys light up to display the pic they you could type in the dark and still see the keys.

PT: Any approximations on cost yet?

AL: I can hardly imagine it to be less than $200 to $300 (USD). Sounds like a lot for a keyboard, but most modern mobile phones cost about that.

Thanks for the update (Rep Points!!)

PT: Any word on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux compatibility?
AL: I see no reason to make keyboard OS-dependant. As you can see from the current layout we have enough keys for Win or Mac control keys. As well, we made the keyboard several keys larger than usual QWERTY to comfortable fit all the Cyrillic letters (there are 33 of them).

Nice Idea!

PT: What kind of material is the Optimus made out of?
AL: The body is aluminum-wrapped.

Nice

themafia: the quote in the post right above yours says what the cost will be estimated around. and in the Q&A article i posted in my last post, it says that they're expecting the keyboard to be out in the public in about a year.

They have a FAQ up now that answers some questions people (/. crowd) had.
