keyboard heaven

For anyone who has ever forgotten a keyboard shortcut help is on the way - at least eventually. Thanks Paul for reminding me of this, the coolest keyboard advance I have seen since testing the laser keyboard at CEBIT a few years back when it was just a prototype.

The laser keyboard was weird - typing on a table is a very strange feeling, and if you don't keep your eyes on the keys aeahgila; gfhsls fhel, sga Flah!




The basic concept of the Optimus keyboard is that you can have the actual functions of the keys on the keys (look closely at the image to the left here). This would be excellent for a design junkie (hello & thank you very much) who has probably only ever regularly used MAYBE 1/3 of the keyboard shortcuts while in the various Adobe lands. You can switch keyboard layouts between Multiple programs (that's what the first image top left is showing). Not bad for speech transcriptionists either, I'd think.
