cool keyboard(s)

Usually I don't like to post about stuff off /. because, well, because it's ./; but I thought this was really cool, and exciting. I think this has the potential to really advance and change the use of keyboards.

I know people may use different key layout (such as dvorak), and this could help customize that too.

The fact it's OS independant, and Open source is awesome, because it means there will be good, working drivers for all OS's.

Interestingly, it's kind of the exact opposite of Das Keyboard, who has a very different selling pitch. :)

So, did you buy one for yourself you already got it at home and your wife/your children are using it ?
I highly recomemnd too, because it looks awesome...Noo, I won't

They need to introduce new common interface in OS - the one responsible for costomizing images on buttons. It would be better if some programs would be able control those images.

Looks pretty cool but I'd be too scared to use it. With my proven track record of spilling drinks & splattering food on the keyboard it would turn into an expensive hobby real fast.

my friend's kid learn the ABC from a keyboard...and his kindergarten teacher get mad when he sing the ABC song :eek: ..it's not in sequence..

//is the sequence bother...

My fragrate when playing AmericasArmy would increase, Im lost in all those keys this game requires...
