There’s been some buzz around the Web the last couple of days about a new kind of computer keyboard. “What’s so great about a computer keyboard?” you might ask. What makes the Optimus keyboard so appealing and different is that the keys are actually little displays. This means they can change to show you application shortcuts, key-commands, different keyboard layouts, etc. All with the same keyboard. There are some example pictures of what I’m talking about on their site.
I had heard about this keyboard last year, but it was just an idea or concept then. The studio behind it has apparently built a functioning prototype and has applied for patents on it. They hope to start selling it next year sometime for “less than a good mobile phone”. I imagine that means it will be around $150 - $200. Kind of pricey for a keyboard, but I’ll bet it still sells very quickly. I know I want one already!
