Wow, look at this:

A laser keyboard, now that would be handy!
Even makes simulated clicking sounds! And BlueTooth so it can work with PDA's

Oh yeah, I've seen that somewhere.
Nice idea, huh?
A little expensive though.

i just noticed something about the keyboard. it is NOT in the US standard layout. which, for me, is a major inconveinence, if i buy something THAT expensive i expect it to be pretty much perfect.

Im sure it can probably be configured, perhaps it operates a lot on the computer-side then the keyboard side?

That's cool, except the fact that all of the keys are flat. I rely on the ability to feel where a key is in order to touch-type...

Someday, I am sure that these will become more popular. And I am sure that we will adjust to them.

I think its really cool though, it seems like that though and discussion from a previous time about future computers when I suggested LCD keyboards (and then found out that something similar existed)
