I've gotten hooked on podcasts in the past 24 hours and have been watching episode after episode of Diggnation. If you don't have iTunes and aren't up to speed on Podcasts... go download iTunes now and get in the know. Podcasts are FREE video feeds - check it.

 

But, this thread isn't about that. It's about this:

The coolest keyboard I've seen. It uses OLED technology and can actually dynamically change the images on the keys. What does this mean? The keys display letters when you need to type, but displays icons (movement keys, fire, alt-fire, talk) when you're playing games. All fully customizable. I can't wait for these to become available! Go to http://www.digg.com for more cool stories.

 

Added: I found some more information on availability. It ain't gonne be cheap, but it definitely is gonna be cool!

Hmmmm.

 

Interesting technology.

 

Think of the advantages.

 

Every game that has different keyboard mappings can show the specific keys differently. Just hink about the default keys magically appearing on your keyboard.

Yes, i think the idea is cool, but i know what my keys are i really don't need the keyboard to tell me.thats my me

thats a pretty cool idea, might take some time to get used to

Sweet !!!!

$105 for a keyboard I was like whoa... atleast i think they were saying it was 105 they could have been talking about another keyboard so it could be more/less expensive.

105 is a good price for that. Wow. Im drooling. I want one. One day I shall have it!

As Puma says, I don't need that--I have the keys memorized.

So do I but that would be so much cooler to have a keyboard like that.

You all aren't think in advance. Why did I buy a 64 bit AMD 2.2 ghz processor when I'm not even running 64 bits apps or a 64 bit opsys??? I'm planning in advance. This keyboard is the same. Think of the games whose keys you may not know... or the programs --- such as photoshop or After Effets that has endless hot keys.

I want that keyboard!

That's why I suck!!! I am always looking at my keys to tell which weapon I am using and I should be looking at the N M E.

I think I may buy one after they come out. I will watch for the best price and make sure the reviews are ok. Pending no major flaws I will have one.

That's because you're old and can't remember things

 

But ya that's a cool looking keyboard and will be very convenient.

Nice looking keyboard. I would like to have one, but I wonder about the durability the most. Keyboards take a pounding ...especially during gaming (more so when you are losing :peace: ) :peace:
