Superb idea for a new keyboard - Its more interesting than you think
Check out this - its a keyboard that changes depending on what your using it for - the idea is great and could save you forever wondering in games and apps what the heck is the key for this and that again...
It uses small screens in the keyboard to display what the key is for and can change the icons in the keys depending on what app your using.
Cracking idea...

Wonders what the price is though.. 
Looks cool too

The trouble with technology is that the more complex it is the more likely it is to go belly up when most inconvenient and at an even more inconvenient cost.

That's cool.
It's also (geek mode on) the same principle as they used in Star Trek. The idea is that the panels that you seem them using (from The Next Generation onwards) configure themselves to the individual user/role.
You set it up as you want it and then when you log in it changes to show you your own unique setup, tailered to engineering/weapons/comms/navigation or whatever.
I have to have one of those keyboards

I like it, but would my wallet like the cost?

Re: Superb idea for a new keyboard - Its more interesting than you think
I used to have a keyboard many years ago that came with several overlays for various games and applications together with blank ones for you to name the keys to your requirements. Can't remember which computer this was for but the keys were rectangular with the letters / use printed under them.

The thought occurs that it might not have been such a good idea to post it here.....
What happens when the Team get hold of a few?
They'll be able to program one of the buttons so that it's permanently set to "ban"

I'd say that's bloody cheap.
I bet something like that would be nearer 200 - 300.
