old as hell, but any idea when they will actually release this thing? I saw it months ago, when I think it was just a prototype.

People were saying about $200-300 I think? I will never spend that much on a keyboard...

Cool as hell, but I feel saddened by anyone who spends money on it. Keyboards shouldn't cost that much.

We don't even know how expensive it will be.
And I think this would be cool to get from a freesite.

that is really cool ive always needed something like that, but they said it would cost less than a good mobile phone....from what the prices are on the new razrs, who knows how expensive it could get.....

Yesterday, news broke out that it would be available on Feb. 1, 2006. It was BIG news. Check digg.com...
ilanbg
08-01-2006 14:54:33
Check out some of the other stuff this site has designed. Awesome stuff.
Someone should make a free-site for these types of things. Maybe Trainn or Freepay, none of the "personal" craps.

It will be over $200. I'd rather have a nano. I'd be so embarassed if I have to tell people my keyboard was like $200...

that's awsome. i like how the keys chang for when your playing a game, like they showd for quake. I def wouldn't pay more than $200...but if it was free that'd be awsome. i doubt freepay or trainn will pick up on the idea...so good luck with that....

yep...nice avatar dennis... lol lol lol
Jacotto
08-01-2006 17:47:38
I bet Dennis would program one of the keys to look like that too, judging from the fact that he took the time to make that avatar. I probably would too.
It'd be neat to have a computer lockout mode where the keyboard displayed the text LOCKED
and the numberpad could be used to unlock it. So it's like a primitive second screen for unlocking the... computer...
I think it's a cool idea.

This keyboard is good example of the new age of technology we're entering. I bet in ten years these kinds of things will be standard.
And I can't fucking wait.

Seriously, if you look at the kind of innovation blooming around technology over the past three years alone, you can imagine what will be produced in over three times that time.
Ask your parents if they ever thought they could fit an entire fucking room full of records in their pocket.

I beleive I pre-ordered one of those keyboards a few months back. Was only available to the first 500 people to submit their email or something, took a bit of googling to find. Not sure if I'm actually going to buy it though.

what in the world does it do?
it looks like a freaking keyboard.. a keyboard is a keyboard
what special stuff does it do??
compuguru

All the keys are LCD screens I think.
ilanbg
08-01-2006 20:13:16
Each key can change based on what you're doing.
Did you look at all the pics? Each key is a tiny screen. If you want to type in russian, it can change. If you're using specific applications, each key becomes a hotkey.
ilanbg
08-01-2006 20:14:00
It kicks ass, that's what it does.
Tholek

The keycaps have individual OLED screens.
I think OLED is crap though.
ilanbg
08-01-2006 20:15:37
I wonder how easy the actual typing is. It's a cool keyboard, but it seems like it would be difficult to push those keys.
Wolfeman
08-01-2006 20:16:29
All the keys are like little oleds so you can make each key display whatever you want. When you play a certain game you can have it change to match the game or have cool little icons to launch apps...

08-01-2006 20:35:38
OLED technology is fine, minus the blue ones because they have a really short lifespan, theyre trying to fix that though

Why do you say that?
I think the keyboard looks nice, but I would never pay for it unless it was like $75 or less.
Jacotto
08-01-2006 21:06:16
Obviously it's going to be expensive in the getgo; all new technology is. The point is that it has to be released now as a luxury item so that it can have time to be picked up by other companies and made more mainstream and inexpensive. Because think about it. With the right software, any key can do [ifd5c680092]anything[/ifd5c680092][/colorfd5c680092].
tylerc
08-01-2006 21:07:01
That's true, give it 6 months to a year and the price will drop significantly.
