It's supposed to weigh in at around $150 - $200.

LOL, why not just upgrade your PC or something. I could use the extra disk space. But I have to give it to you. It does look very cool. Funny how they showed the emule picture for one of the buttons. Its like the largest illegal p2p network out there. Not that the network itself is illegal, people just use it illegaly.

Well, this would be an upgrade. Sort of. user added image

Just think. No more games where you have to put that darn keyboard layover to tell you which keys are which. No more having to turn the lights on to type when it's dark. And since it will be user configurable, I can create all the hotkeys for Maya on it with little icons!

ÜBER cool, and pretty useful at the same time! A bit pricy though IMO... But still, cool and useful at the same time, you don't see that too often user added image

yeah its prety cool, but seriously, it takes longer to look at the keyboard for the shortcut then press the shotcut key than it does to remember where the button is in the first place then just press the button user added image

. it looks cool but not realy that useful. i want a keyboard with just one key... you put ur finger on the key and just think what you want to do and then it does it user added image
