is once again shipping... so hurry before supplies run out. The site says out of stock, but the manufacture sent me and email saying they are shipping again.

For only $1,600 USD you can get a 113 key keyboard where each key is basically a screen programmed for each, um, program.

"Hold down SHIFT and all keys go uppercase. Run Photoshop and you can set it so each hotkey has an image representing its function. Set a key to monitor your CPU usage or display what iTunes track you are currently playing. You can make a key into a tiny clock with moving hands and play animated gif files or even quicktime movies."

For demo and to see the beastie
 
It's a super cool concept.
But I would never buy a keyboard for that price without having a chance to try it for real and get a sense of how it feels to actually type with it.
