Can't see this going mainstream myself.

Do I read it right that you can program the key that once you have pressed it the function of the key changes so you can have a key that press once is delete, the second is yes so can just hammer away the same key etc?

Gamers would go crazy for this so huge market in that area alone. World of warcraft would be reduced to mashing one button for 25 hours or day or however long they play it for etc.

Konami Track and field would be a doddle! Just hammer away on one key instead of putting a golfball on the keyboard and rolling it backwards and forwards as fast as possible!! My Spectrum keyboard might have survived if it had that kind of functionality!!

Yes, it's perfect for RSI, ffs it's not even Natural Keyboard layout!

Maybe they are going to do that once it's out of concept mode. Since most people don't use ergonomic keyboards anyway, who cares?

Most people don't get such expensive (and it will be) keyboards also.

You just need one of those drinking birds that Homer had. What could possibly go wrong.

Hey, I've got a load of buttons on my keyboard (mail, a house symbol, calculator, speaker symbol, VCR symbol, etc, about 10 of them in all). I've not used any of them. In fact today is about the second time I've even looked at them

[TimberWolf]

I've spotted a serious flaw in that keyboard. Clue in the picture:



Yep, it's got a barsteward caps lock key. The bane of any keyboard user and the cause of countless hours of lost work and non-productivity. A keyboard landmine. What a pile of junk.

Darn. Now I've got drool all over my keyboard... otoh, that means I can order a new one!

Re: CapsLock - easy solution. Just change its definition so that everytime you press it, it sends an SMS to your missus to get you a beer from the fridge, or provide some other service.
