A keyboard where each key is an OLED panel. That means the key displays whatever it's doing. And it's out February 1st.

As crazy as it sounds, I've heard from reliable sources that it'll possibly be for as little as $100-200. That's AWESOME.

Just think of the possibilities. I for one am waiting for a hack that allows you to use the combined keys as a screen. Watching Family Guy on my keyboard would be ridiculous.

Hehe yeah it looks ace, I saw it a while ago. Good to see it's still in the making.
That quake layout pic makes me feel warm inside.

You are correct madam.

D: I have someone to shoot. Sorry for posting about nothing whatsoever then- it was stressed to me that this was completely reliable info. Stupid friend...

This keyboard is going to be upwards of $200 for sure. Which is rediculous.

Not really... considering what it's made of and is capable of.
And I doubt it wont go for more than $120.

I'll just get all of those and then plug in the one I need when I'm going to play the game. Except that would only be for games...

Exactly. And all I can see is that it changes, to show you the functions of the buttons so you don't have to remember them? I mean, how hard is it to remember bindings?
I'm not paying £150-odd just for my keyboard to tell me that "W" means "Forward".
