Actually, I don't think it does. Thanks for all the info though, if I have any questions about it, once I start using it, I'll be sure to PM ya'. You've got enough hours/days in on WoW, I imagine you've given this keyboard quite a beating.

hehe.

Its taken a pretty good beating.. TAB key is a bit beat from Switching targets in WoW and checking stats in FPS games.. but it still works good.. tho this ---smurfette--- has a good 6 months of game time on it..

UPDATE on the OLED Keyboard:

"Atremy Lebedev, is the creator of the Optimus ninja OLED keyboard. Lebedev is planning on mass producing this thing in a year or so and sees the price at somewhere in the $200-300 range." [link] (emphasis mine)

Wow. That'd be cool.

I'll go as high as $500 if the interface is easy to use.  Hell I'd buy two, one to have at the office that displays my business card.  That's slick! :)

patrickl:
A few years later and on the live journal page there is a message that  pre orders will be accepted from may 20th. I saw a price mentioned of US$ 1564. That's a joke I hope?

shmokes:
I know.  I remember they initially said it would cost no more than a good cell phone.  $1500 cell phone?  Hell, the iPhone will be less than half that.

Who in the name of god is going to drop $1500 on a preorder for a keyboard that they have never touched?  Are the keys even properly convexed, or are they just flat across the top?  How is the action?  Springy, cushy, ---smurfy---?  Did they fix the button layout to match a standard U.S. keyboard, or is it still the Russian layout, which puts the enter key like 1 1/2 keys further to the right than a U.S. keyboard?  The thing looks damned cool, but cool as in, I'll get a keyboard like this like five or ten years from now, and it'll probably be made well by Logitech instead of these yahoos.
