I dunno if any of you guys have seen this keyboard, but if you havent i suggest you take a look.

Each key has a tiny LED display in it and can be changed to whatever you desire, these things arent cheap though $1500 for a full keyboard, theyre planning on selling the base without all the keys in the near future.

These things have also been delayed about a billion times, and where meant to be out about 5 years ago.

Stupidly expensive too, you could just get an X-Keys and print out your own caps.

10-15 mins extra work on your half and you save about 1400 bucks

wow, I remember these being announced like 3 years ago, and for a fraction of the 1500.

thats retarded for a keyboard, go being able to build a semi decent PC for the cost of it :P

If they made an X-keys / N52 style one instead of a full sized keyboard and if the price was reasonable then maybe.

Would be nice if it was PS/2 with USB programmable keys.
