hokiethang · January 12th, 2006, 03:50 PM

It's not going to be cheap, especially if each key is a changeable display. That's the equivalent of 110 displays.

I also really doubt the february date, as i've seen this before with an old release date on it. I'd love to see one in person, but if it's not < $100, I probably won't own one.

jensked · January 12th, 2006, 04:37 PM

how much power is it going to consume??

Xeon SX · January 12th, 2006, 04:42 PM

I think they say its going to cost no mora than a good phone and that not cheap for a keyboard.

That's exactly what they said. No more than a good phone.

Xeon SX · January 12th, 2006, 07:17 PM

shall we start a new thread about good phones and their prices then? images/smilies/lol.gif

araracd: It was only presented as a design study less than a year ago images/smilies/bangin.gif

It is supposed to use OLEDs, right? They don't need much power images/smilies/wink.gif

So now we know the price is somewhere between $50 and $1 000, images/smilies/tongue.gif

Seriously though, if it ended up being even $250, and I weren't saving up for a car, I might have considered buying it. I mean, every key is a lit display, how cool is that?

Buba · January 12th, 2006, 10:59 PM

I guess I wouldn't buy the first series...

Viper007Bond · January 12th, 2006, 11:38 PM

Yeah, I'd wait a few generations, until the price comes down a bit, and until my current keyboard goes kaput. I definetly want one though!

Same here, but id end up spending all that money on it and spilling coffe on it

Buba · January 14th, 2006, 12:51 AM

Thats what I do every morning on my Luminous Keyboard I just bought for really cheap money!

POWERRR!! · January 14th, 2006, 02:30 AM

i'm pretty sure this will cost a lot more than $100. there are logitech keyboards that cost $100 but are nowhere near as fancy!
