It's not available yet, but it sure does look neat.

And by neat, I mean totally bomb-ass fantastic.

I saw this yesterday on engadget.com

pretty neato :D, I almost bought myself a z-board but now I'm waiting for this baby to come out.

Does OLED screens glow like lcd monitors?
It'll be great if its also illuminates in the dark.

been around the net the past few days. everytime i see it i think of more problems i'd have with it.

i can't say i'm excited to be constantly cleaning off the smudged OLED keys and i'm not a huge fan of being forced to return or RMA my keyboard because it has a bunch of dead pixels. dead pixels on a keyboard... well i never.

still, the prospect of the software being built for this keyboard is rather awesome. imagine having a screensaver for your keyboard. a screensaver that is a looped mpg/avi. you could have an XViD film be your screensaver for your keyboard.

how completely useless and utterly awesome is that. multiply that tenfold if that film is a porno.

Yeah, I saw it also on Digg a couple of days back. I was thinking about what if you could download different fonts for your keyboard, that would kick ass so badly.

"what if"? you think people are going to waste the potential of this idea on "LOL BOOB JPG FOR KEYS!" ?

seriously. think of using whatever font you want. having the keys animate with an mng/mpg/gif when pressed. audio visualizations on your keyboard. system stats on your keys using meters and graphs.

jesus christ, think of the possibilities.

if any jpg is to be used for the space key, it has to be huge_weiner(1).jpg.

direct from kazaa to your keyboard! hell, make it a gif and have it bounce everytime you use it and make a "sproing!" noise through your speakers.

The biggest innovation I see with this is that it's finally a universal keyboard. You can use it in any country and in any langauge and finally making typing forieng langauges that much easier. Impressive.

If it works without failure, then that is the coolest piece of hardware I've seen in a long time.
