    I heard about this before and that keyboard is a ****ing rip-off.

    I think I'll wait for the inevitable one screen touch panel keyboards we'll be seeing within the next 10 or 20 years. Instead of being a physical keyboard, it will be a single screen with a keyboard type overlay that is touch sensitive.

      Similar to the media functions on this.

      Also, I'd rather have the new diNovo Edge than that overpriced keyboard.

      So sexy...

        That keyboard has been all over the internet for about two years now, and it's about time it's actually becoming available. While I wouldn't spend the money on it, I'll still say it's pretty damn cool.
        As for single surface keyboards, I imagine it would be annoying to try to get used to a non-responsive surface (that is, without the actual give of the keys) for typing.

          I was thinking the same thing, I base my typing off the feel of the keys, and constantly use the F and J keys to know where my fingers are. But that's what I love about the diNovo, it's as thin as these touchpads would be, plus it still has the feel .

              I've seen this before yeah. Didn't it win a vaporware award at some point? And now it's being made and the keys are like $10 a piece to manufacture. I would totally buy it if it was more in the $100-200 price range.

                waste of money, it'll still look like shit after my hands have been on it for a month. My current keyboard came free with my cheap-ass £50 moniter =P

                    I'd rather have a Logitech G15. Oh wait, I already have one.

                      Well, it would be extremely useful when you do a lot of graphics work, so you don't have to memorize all the keyboard shortcuts.

                          That's way too much for a keyboard. The most one should ever spend on a keyboard is a couple hundred bucks. I use a Dell wireless keyboard/mouse combo that came with my computer, and I have had no problems with it. I have played many games online with this and it works just fine. If I was to upgrade, I would get another mouse; but again, I am fine for the time being.

                            I said I WANTED it, not that I was going to buy it ;)

                            Knock a 0 off the end, and if it has decent app support I'd consider it

                              You have an AT keyboard? Why the hell do you have one of those?

                              If this thing were $150 USD, I think everyone would consider it.
