Oh ya I saw that a long time ago. Actually out of one of my friends AIM profiles. However I hope it comes out, that would be really cool to have.

Nice keyboard, but why a donkey? I understand the quicktime and everything else, but a donkey? Come on! LOL! I'd stick with a standard gaming keyboard or wireless logitech etc, Cheers, Gunny

It looks cool. But whats protecting the little LCD displays inside the keys and will they survive a lifetime of thumping?

Looks nice to have, but as Woody has said, I'd be a bit concerned about the continual vibration on them all the time. I tend to beat the life out of my keyboard and although it is able to tolerate it on plastic, sensetive LCD buttons might be rather risky. But maybe it caters for even the most violent typists! ;D

Something my girlfriend would want to have... auto switch between US and Arabic layout... Actually, something any international company would want to have... never guess where your character is located anymore, just link it up to the language selector
