Waste of money

Indeed

But if I would have a big money tree in my garden I would get one right away. Cool stuff.

not for sale it's a prototype, and it would be beyond most people's pay to buy as those are all OLEDs.

I wonder how it would stand up to gaming for more than 6 months, sometimes you get really frustrated or pound the keys frantically

I always wished my keyboard could glow in the dark but LED sounds a bit expensive

great idea for gamers, if its cheap enough, if its more durable and you can use a lot of different games on it.

That's as equally pointless as it is cool.

No, its very usefull!

Just imagine every application shows directly what every key does, for example in Gaming no more "What was the damn key for that function?".

I think its still very expensive but it will get cheaper when time goes by.

They have quick key guides in with most games now anyway :lol:

I'd still buy it, smply because it looks cool.

They said it will cost the same as a good cellphone. So think $300. Also, it used OLEDs.

That's stupid. I'd pay £30 maximum.

organic LED's aren't cheap. and that many that small and programmable...I would be surprised if it was only 300 dead presidents.
