Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the review-copy-please? dept.

Koskun writes "What appears to be a Russian design company has on their website a keyboard in which the keys are using OLED to display what function the keys represent. The product is Art. Lebedev Studio's Optimus Keyboard. The uses of this could be amazing. They have pictures of layouts for Photoshop and Quake, as well as a QWERTY and Russian. Here's hoping that this will make it to a production model and not just a design model."

    Since all of our jobs are being outsourced to other countries, this keyboard will be perfect for public schools where they will need to teach children to function in the wonderful world of order-taking at fast food restaurants on those nifty little picture-only cash-registers..

  5. Yes, every key would change... by Omega · · Score: 5, Funny

    That would be really funny if the prompt read, "Press any key" and every key on the keyboard changed to read "Any". :)
