andsome Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 What is supposed to be the point of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 (The 'great' thing about the keyboard is that the letters change based on what program you are using.Which is really cool, assuming it works properly, and from what the article says it does. The only downside is that it is apparently rubbish to type on. Which is a problem for a keyboard, but if you are using it to show your shortcut keys in Photoshop, you probably aren't doing much typing at that moment anyway.That and it's absurdly expensive.Put another way, the letters on the keys will NEVER rub off, and pressing the shift key dynamically changes the letters (ie. they go from showing lower case to upper case instantly), or you can have your own DVORAK layout simply by changing the windows profile, no excessively hard memorization needed.)

Mike567 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I believe it can be brilliant for work places, especially if you want to use the dvorak layout instead the qwerty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
