very cool keyboard

this was posted last night .. but i couldn't get a price range on it ... anyone have an idea ..

Damn sweet keyboard..gotta have one

i want one

Posted 2 times last night.

Regardless I'm excited to see a working model...it would be killer for Photoshop.

That's not pimp, it is bad.

needs a sperm guard

It exist, to tired to find and post the pic.

I think I jizzed my pants while viewing that page. I'm guessing it will be in the $500+ range... but how many people are actually willing to pay that? You're better off spending much less on some typing lessons so you wouldn't have to look at the keyboard anyways lol.

That keyboard is leet. If it came in an ergonomic design, I would buy one.

vaporware :2 cents:

Its not made yet. That is just someone's idea.

Do you mean the good kind of bad?

I believe the proper slang for the good kind of bad is "bad ass". I think "bad" is just.. well... bad. :2 cents:

Who doesn't? These future keyboards are great! :thumbsup

cool... :)

It's in initial stage of production

We hope it will be released in 2006

It will cost less than a good mobile phone

It will be real

It will be OS-independent (at least it can work in some default state with any OS)

It will support any language or layout

Moscow is the capital of Russia

Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence

It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available

Some day it will be split ('ergonomic')

It will most likely use OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow)

Our studio is located two blocks from the Kremlin

It will feature a key-saver

Keys will use animation when needed

It has numeric keypad because we love it

There's no snow in Moscow during Summer

It will be available worldwide (why not?)

OEM will be possible (why not?)

You're right. Real men use a happy hacker.
