I Want One Of These!

I think this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and I can imagine about a dozen uses for the programmability of this thing... not to mention the sheer cool factor.  Ladies and gentlemen... I give you the Optimus keyboard:

 

Granted it will be kind of expensive... at least for a keyboard.  But the OLED LED key technology that will switch the key display depending on the layout, and the ability to have visually different keys show up depending on what application you have active at the time is totally cool.  I have a feeling that this thing will be mine.  It's not released yet... but will be soon.  The developers also have a blog devoted to the project.

Nick,

The Optimus keyboard will not be using OLED displays, they changed that since the original design -

Thanks Ron, I hadn't noticed that.  Of course, the fact that it uses LED's doesn't detract from the cool geek factor one iota.
