teah cool isn't it? The keys actually change to what you want displayed. I wonder if it's clever enough to change the displays if you hold down the shift key - if the shift key is held down, does it then display available options for keys assigned under shift? Now that would be cool

Can you imagine what this thing will cost?

On a related note, I noticed Razer has modified the pricing on their new Tarantula keyboard. The basic version will be $99 while the version with an OLED that will be similar to the Logitech G15 will be ~ $300. Given those prices can you imagine what a keyboard with an OLED on each key would run!

On their website it says the keyboard will cost less than a mobile phone.

It specifically says, "It will cost less than a good mobile phone."

My Treo came in at over $500. I'm guessing it'll be cheaper than that but more expensive than all the RAZRs that are on sale these days. Then again the Treo 650s aren't costing all that much these days either.
