Here I was expecting some sort of transformers related thing and it turns out even cooler than that. If it was wireless I'd be hella interested.

[BIV]

Okay. That's cool.

[zagman76]

That is cool! I want one of those!

[Minge]

You just sold me a keyboard.

[invisible76]

That very well may be the coolest thing i've ever seen for a computer. Where do i pre-order?

[Rob]

How long before the keys start breaking down?

[Taso]

That looks so fucken awesome, but considering my computer is shared between me and my two brothers, I wouldnt trust them keeping it in one piece. But still awesome nonetheless

How long before the keys start breaking down?

OLEDs (Short For Organic Light Emitting Diodes) last a pretty long time. The site says there will be a "Key Saver" which probably just turns 'em off. They're starting to talk about using these in TV displays which would be great. Unlike plasma displays, they never burn-in an image and unlike LCD displays, they produce their own light. The break point in lifespan for TV displays seems to be about 10,000 hours. and OLEDS will approach this kind of lifespan soon.

I want the split version... as I cannot type for shit on reg sized keyboards...

I've been keeping watch on this thing for a week now. I really hope those ruskies get in gear and get a US manufacturer.

Interview with developers.

When this thing actually get's further beyond " A very impressive 3D Render" I'm all over it like Norton on a Meaty Vag!!

I hope it actaully pans out and get's manufactured. I wonder what the price of this beast will be though?

damn that is amazing.
