sounds too complicated, I'll stick with my 10 lb, spring-keyed clacky keyboard that doubles as a club

Mine is clear so that I can see all the dirt and fingernail clippings inside.

It's going to be for Macs and PCs.

the This Week In Tech podcast mentioned it could be up to 300 dollars.

Worth it, though.

I don't want it, yet I do.

Such is the siren call of geek-tech.

I wonder if it's one of those keyboards that plays music, too.

my guess there's going to be a program you'll have to install. Some templates to go with it (photoshop, final cut pro) but a lot of it is user based.

That's even cooler than my thin plastic wireless roll-out keyboard.

Yes. Each button will flash a different character every tenth of a second.

THAT.... IS.... SO.... DAMN.....AWESOME!!

But does this mean that any new game or program is going to have to take this into account and make pictures, or will they be downloaded, or will any body using it only be allowed to play Quake for eternity?

I'm surprised you haven't asked me to get you one yet

While this keyboard IS cool, I have a beef with it's shape. It looks uncomfortable to use.

OMG

I so would love to have something like that!

I think it looks sleek. *Drool*
