Old news, and not available yet for sale. If It ever gets around $50. I'll get one.

Best things of this keyboard?

It will support any language or layout
Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence
It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available
Some day it will be split ('ergonomic')
It will most likely use OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow)
It will feature a key-saver
Keys will use animation when needed
It has numeric keypad because we love it



No doubt I will buy one, and use the SDK for some serious key programming.

Looks bad ass. However, I wonder how durable it will be.

That Zboard is kinda cool, but it would FUBAR my settings in HL2 and BF2.

Nope, you get the cross fire keyset and just use the layout of the keys, and rebind what you want the key to do in game.

Im not a fan of a keybaord that's 80 dollars, and not impressive. Seriously, 80 bucks for a keybaord that doesn't have letters on it? It's not all that great. I dont look at the keybaord much as it is anyway. :)

it just looks cool.

and just think, you can program unix commands into each key, actual commands, and you'll see at least part of what the command is.

but mainly i think it rocks for games. i always forget what button is what aside from wsad jump crouch

I use an HP keyboard that came with one of the servers at work. It works just fine. I think you guys are just elitist, pussies, or elitist pussies.

I wish I could find a decent way to mod my laptop to have a keyboard like this...

I have the Saitek Exectuive. It has a nice back light in cool blue. And it's a titanium color. I love it. It's a little clicky for my taste though, but much quieter then the one at my hosue.

Of all the keyboards I've ever used, there hasnt been a single one that I prefer over the oldschool loudass ones..I can type so much faster on there! I dont like the laptop type keys as much(no pun intended)..too soft.

I'd get it if it were half the price or if I had a pda.
