$1000 Keyboard Features A Screen on Every Key

[bokuden]

If you are looking at the keys, you're doing it wrong.

irrationally expensive like the gold plated iPhone yes.

[citation][nom]lightbulbsocket[/nom]Yeah, but can it play Crysis?[/citation]

Companies that regularly have business contacts with Russia, China, Japan or some other country with a non-Latin alphabet will probably find the ability to change keyboard alphabet hugely valuable. Sounds like a nice thing for such companies, but for the home user it's just overpriced junk...

Wonder how many people bought the previous one.

Something tells me they sold enough to be convinced that a spinoff would also be successful...

I can't help it, it reminds me of a rubber keyed ZX81......

Showing my age now....

The only use I can see for this overkill is that you can have a different porn clip playing on every key simultaneously - oh the possibilities!

 

[epsiloneri]

Who looks at their keyboard while typing, anyway?

does it still work if you spill sperm on it?

Wow I feel old just reading that ... and realising I know what you mean ...

Any number of real and practical uses where the price tag is peanuts. But still, the actual customers are probably those with six or seven figure incomes and want something new to show off.

That's crazy. You can spend your $1000 on a seriously equipped PC instead.

I do like the small footprint it has. Apples wireless keyboard is small like this too but not as nice.

 

[eyemaster]

My eyes are usually looking at the screen. Never looking at the keyboard, mostly when gaming.

 

[ksampanna]

This is nuttier than the gold plated iPhone

I could honestly see a single OLED screen the size of a keyboard with a clear silicone overlay that would allow for tactile key sense. Wouldn't this ultimately be cheaper than a screen for each key and still perform the same task?

Even better, you can have the clip spread over all the keys...

 

[acadia11]

[citation][nom]Morgan3rd[/nom]So you can touch type? I dunno I can't really imagine there being too many uses for this keyboard. But I wouldn't be surprised if they could sell 100-500 of them.[/citation]

Because the idea would fall under common sense and practical as opposed to novel.

I'd buy one. It's cooler than cool, I can show off to my buds and it still is cheaper than coke. Kind of like my sports car, except the sports car gets me laid better.

Mid-life crisis, here we come...
