40 inch desk monitor (touch screen). Pretty freaking cool.

A little on the expensive side for a keyboard, but it looks like a monitor too... or at least an extra display.

Neat.

Looks like you can make big buttons ( the blue one on the right ) So you make one for your cooldown macro, make it real big and red..and you know what to call it.....

The large, shiny, candy-colored button?

The coffee should be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the fudge away from your PC/keyboard, lol. Obviously you haven't learned one of the hardest lessons that come with drinks near these items. :eek:

On another note- that thing looks badass! Bet they aren't all that sturdy being such new tech. But who knows!

what I hate the most with touch screens is that there is no feedback. on phones you can have sounds and/or haptic feedback (small vibration) but on a big screen like that i doubt the feedback would work.

So basically you 'press' a button (or rather tap a part of the screen) and you wont know that you pressed it until the action takes place. Unless you look at the screen itself to see the button_pressed state.. but how often do you look at your keyboard when you type?

That reminds me of an interesting article i read, from an ex-apple designer, regarding new technology ergonomics: http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesign/

That thing is expensive, but still cheaper than the Optimus Maximus (http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/) from Art Lebedev.

I still really want an Optimus though!
