The most elusive peripheral designer, Art Lebedev, is making more noise this week with news that the even more elusive Optimus 103 OLED keyboard will be shipping in the first half of this year. Probably.
We’ve been here before so no holding your breath. The Optimus 103 sports OLED keys that can be programmed to display their function, letters, numbers, symbols etc. The keys are 9 x 9mm and are capable of displaying a colour, 32 x 32 pixel image. As you can see, it’s quite pretty, although Art seems to be having trouble finding manufacturers to make it a reality.
If you are willing to wait though for your next keyboard, then start saving now since an earlier report from Art suggested that each of the key displays will cost around £6, which will bring the consumer price to around £500. Ouch.-Martin Lynch

No 1 cares about the keyboard now, as its way over priced :)
I think they would just use the £6 display keys for the ones you would want to change/customize... why would you ever want to move the standard qwerty keys?...

Its a nice idea, but i doubt many would pay £500 for a flash "multimedia keyboard" - but with that said, if your dim enough to forget what key does what in a game maybe your dim enough to go buy that keyboard.
