Would any existing games be compatible with that LCD display?
Seems like you would have to customize a game software to get it to display bullets, shells, rockets and grenades on the LCD.

Each key has a led for lightup.
Made for gaming.   So might not have a real matrix. 

You might be reading too much into this one.  My guess is that there is a sheet of EL material under the clear mylar switch layers and the symbols on the keys are translucent.

There's also no reason for these not to be matrixed.  Their idea of "gaming" is an FPS, so no need for a lot of simultaneous keypresses.

Just my .02 (as usual :) )

For $80 why bother?  Just buy two Keywizs or I-Pacs and be done with it.
