Shining bright .. but it doesn't look very comfortable.

After dreaming about owning one once it comes out in production.. then i started thinking... how often does anyone actually looks at the keyboard for the keys?... i mean let's say for example you've got all the keys setup to display all your counter strike keys..... what's the use? cause you'll have to keep your eyes glued to your screen and you'll most likely have all the key positions burned-in to your fingers anyways....

Hmm then again, maybe for people on the learning curve.... or multiple users or single users who use differnt keybaord layouts and still need some visual hint on the keyboard....

From looking at the website homepage, its basically an art studio with an interesting keyboard concept. Sure, I'll just take an order of two of those nifty Optimus keyboards and a Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle.

Yup, wished it was real too myself. A reconfigurable Keyboard with customisable key commands. Haha

But here's something as cool... a backlit Keyboard.

Not cheap though, US$$99.99 - $119.99!!!

I, for one, have to look quite often. Both when typing text and when playing games, since I don't do it enough to store all positions in the muscle memory.
