a prototype of the optimus

An LCD in each key allows you to customize all 125 buttons in the keyboard, handy for applications that have context sensitive shortcuts. This is pretty sweet!

It's not even a prototype, it's just a Render. An idea.

The thing would weigh so much and cost so much.....

never the less, I WANT ONE!

You could have pr0n buttons! or hell, make a picture out of all of them together.

Edit: didn't see the post above mine. That's NWS, but whatever.

LOCK IT OUT so it says piss off when someone touched it, or even better Scrolling error and jibberish when co-workers use it and then it shuts off the letters

Yeah that'd be cool.

I lock my PC anytime I walk away, I'm paranoid or something. There's not even anything on it to hide.

I like, but I'm thinking that thing would need a seperate AC power connector since the keyboard connector on a PC is only what? 5V? and I don't think a USB 2.0 connection even gives that...

Imagine, you lock down the PC and when some knob tries to get into your system the keys light up with "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that..." :rofl:
