Using your ex-girlfriend's MasterCard to pay for it all right before you break up with her for cheating on you: Priceless.

Some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's ThinkGeek.

No need for monitors anymore...though it might as well be a touch screen...

I'm sure I've seen that Optimus Maximus thing posted on here about 3 times before.

With a name like that, it should at least turn into a robot as well.

It looked fun, it also looks like a lot of work creating shiny icons for your keys that you don't really need (since you have to know the keys in order to put icons on the right ones) and that, at that price is going to go largely unsupported by most software companies.

Put yourself in games: $19.99

You can do that with any cam, and also the EyeToy has been around for a long time.

This was first noticed by Sandwich's brother back in 2005.  Pretty cool to see that it's finally available.

Yeah... about three years too late. Before they can possibly turn a profit on this, Apple will come out with their multitouch one-panel iKeyboard and that will be the end.

Pity Apple won't be making robotic deers...

Creating possibly the only keyboard more annoying to use than their existing keyboards.

   You'd think a 1000 dollar keyboard would at least be ergonomic.

[Al Tarket]

you know, any person with any sanity wouldn't buy such a piece of computer equipment. i mean what happens when you accidentally spill some milk on the keyboard. or get a few crumbs into the servos on that keyboard. too many variables for a whopping amount of money.

i wonder if anyone has such a keyboard?

reminds me of the saitek cyborg, looked like something you would find on the star trek klingon prop set.

[Hippo]

i highly doubt there's any servo's in it

[Flipside]

Personally, I think multi-touch screens are the way to go, but, then, for typing, I can see problems arising from the lack of ergonomics in a touch-screen, so there may still be some call for the old-fashioned keyboard.

[WMCoolmon]

It makes touch-typing really hard, unless they have some sort of extrusions on the surface to help you find the 'keys'.

[Mefustae]

Perhaps some sort of memory sheath that raises into whatever configuration you desire? Activate the keyboard functionality, and the keys raise slightly from the surface to give tactile sensation while remaining multi-touch at heart.
