Each key is a individual display. OMG, even I couldnt afford this!

Wow... that's beautiful... can't wait until that becomes standard keyboard tech.

I already know what mine would display all my keys as though, lol. j/k

Sorry, comp lagged and I double posted... Since I'm here, how do I delete my own posts? I feel like the button is right in front of me and I've scrolled over it 100 times looking for it and never noticed.

lemme guess without clicking on it, the Art Lebedev Optimus Maximus? about $1500 dollars?

Engadget was covering it since Lebedev made the original concept. A bit superfluous if you ask me. I'd prefer one of those silent ones with no letters on the keys. those are great :)

edit: and yes, i am a geek.

Ya I remember when this POS was first "announced" and shown as a concept, claiming they'd have a price point of $300. Good job on that one!

They finished the prototype about 2 years ago, though it had not been released to anyone for sale.
