Optimus keyboard

I examine the Optimus keyboard concept from Art. Lebedev Studio, featuring individual displays on every key. I find it a remarkable tool for visualizing shortcuts in complex software like Photoshop or mapping controls for gaming.

The Optimus keyboard. Every key of the Optimus keyboard is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment. See it – it’s a remarkable concept.

S Anand 16 Jul 2005 8:16 am: Well, laptop keyboards could have this functionality too I guess.
Francis 16 Jul 2005 10:03 pm: i would want to focus on the screen as opposed to the keyboard.
S Anand 17 Jul 2005 11:10 am: True. But it helps teach shortcuts as well. It would help me with Photoshop and some games.
