Optimus keyboard video
From engadget:
"Mahalo Daily's Veronica Belmont was able to catch up with Art Lebedev at CES 2008 and spend nearly six minutes checking out the oh-so-captivating Optimus Maximus keyboard. If you've managed to resist heading past the break and clicking play as hastily as humanly possible up 'til now, what on Earth are you waiting for?"

There's something about a cute lady who gives a damn about technology.

might have to get one on the instalment option.. a couple keys a month, should only take 10 years...
and by then we'll all have computers built in our brains and we wont be using keyboards.. man im going to be retro!

They didn't answer the most important question.
Can you scroll text across the space bar, to call your mates gay?

Hmm
I feel like I must be missing the point slightly with the Optimus Maximus keyboard...
First of all it sounds suspiciously like a Transformer but that's besides the point.
What I don't understand is this: It is nothing more than a keyboard with OLED screens in the keys am I right? So you can reprogram them to display what you want and perform the task you assign to it. This does sound pretty handy, but I'm not sure why the hype surrounding it is akin to the second coming of Jebus?
Please explain, I'm genuinely sure I'm missing something here..
