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."

    The Transformers series offshoot, Beast Wars, so polluted the net that for the longest time I couldn't find a trace of one of the most innovative homebrew robot projects ever published. Subsumption architecture is the way to go.

    they can only get a patent if they beat Jeff Bezos to it. I'm sure he'll find some way to bring this under the "1-click" patent he has :-P

    If you want to get up in memory's face and smack some bits around, use C. If you want to get things done, don't.

    Right, because as we all know, OS kernels, device drivers, microcontroller apps, embedded systems programs, etc. are all written in Java these days...

    ...oh, wait.
