Way cool. Just hope it actually comes out. An ergonomic one is planned later on, too.

Holy shit, that's awesome.
The Frequently Answered Answers list is quite humorous.

That looks incredible. Any idea how much it will cost? "It will cost less than a good mobile phone" doesnt say much. That, and some of the info seems irrelevant. "Moscow is the capital of Russia"....?

A programmable keyboard? I guess it was inevitable. Never thought my keyboard would have its own screensaver though.

That's awesome! Now instead of wasting time online or playing video games, we can waste time programming our keyboard...

When I saw the first pictures I thought it just looked boring, but all the key-screens look really cool. This would be an awesome keyboard to have.

Woah...they have a Quake configuration! That's awesome. Not sure I'd wanna pay very much for one though. In the end it's still just a keyboard.

Looks pretty nice.
It'd definitely be useful for those of us who can't be bothered to remember keyboard shortcuts for every program. :D

I need that fucking keyboard. I'd kill a man just to touch one of those. =o
wow, that looks really nice. I wonder what the keys themselves feel like? might get kinda hard to see after a while, as the keys gets worn out from use. probably going to be expensive little buggers to replace... when I get one, though, everything on the keyboard is going to be Zelda and custom sprites! (if possible, that is)
I just can't wait for Star Trek style keyboards, or holographic ones. technology rules

If you can assign macros to this keyboard on the fly, that would be awesome. I could see something like that being very useful in a game of Frozen Throne. Anyway, it might look nice, but I'll pass judgement when I know it feels.

If that donkey in that one pic isn't to edonkey2000, I don't want to know what it starts.
But who needs labels anyway? Link (http://www.daskeyboard.com/)

No tactile feedback? Fuck that.

That's pretty awesome. Now all they need to do is to be able to fit an entire keyboard into a mouse type device, and then fit that into some sort of remote-control device.
Better yet, they should have keyboards that can act as a remote for various things besides jut being a keyboard.

Just as long as it's not the godless heathen Transformers Amarda Optimus and only the origional tractor trailor one.

Neat, but I can't wait until they just jack your head into a computer and it does whatever you want it to just by concentrating on it. Yeah.
