would you spend $1500 on a keyboard


Do you think this is just like any other keyboard ?
Think again Imagine having a keyboard with 113 screens on each key. That is exactly what this keyboard is still think its just and ordinary keyboard ? keep Reading.
Each key can change its image dynamically depending on what you're doing. Hold down SHIFT and all keys go uppercase. Run Photoshop and you can set it so each hotkey has an image representing its function you can even watch a quicktime movie on the keyboard keys if you really wanted.
The only thing that is not awesome about this keyboard is the price 1500 dollars which is about 816 British pounds and about 1000 euros.
