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.
