Wow, quite nice

it seems just like a keyboard that you can put the keys were you want, not particulary ergonomic or revolutionary, but thats jsut me

 

[zip22]

you can make it as ergonomic as you want, the keys use wireless technology, you can do 6 key combinations, you can program on the fly

arent those kinda new features?

As far as I know they are new features . But most importantly the keys can be placed anywhere . Readjustable keyboards don't offer that freedom because they will still have a basic shape or grid or chassis that you must conform to . That would of course affect your choices regarding key spacing , placement etc , which is why this current soloution is vastly superior , unfortunately quite expensive as well.

Heh, nice, but seems a tad over engineered, it's like you've gone on a mission to a primitive tribe in the amazon to teach them about cooking and taken a solar powered microwave along to demonstrate. There's been some adapters for arcade unit conversions around for a while now where you can connect any number of your own buttons and assign keystrokes to them with it all emulating a native keybaord throught he PS/2 port. I would bow to the superiority of this thing if it was about twice as wide and had big clicky mightily mashable arcade style buttons, Those things look a bit fragile. I'm also a bit in doubt that more enthusiastic gamers wouldn't manage to knock keys off in use.
