Remember that project to make a keyboard with each key its own OLED display, making the keyboard programmable in every way? It's here. And it's pricey.
In the Wired Blog on the keyboard, it's listed as costing $1600. Just the keyboard!
So, who's getting in line for one?

It would go great with a MacBook Air.

Too fat and ugly. And I learned touch-typing 20 years ago, so I never saw the point of this thing.

The reviews have said it is good but it is a really bad keyboard. Not meant for typing just for hotkeys. I would never pay more than $300 for that and that's if Apples themselves makes a cooler version.

You can customize all the keys to whatever app you're using, similar to those fancy keyboard covers with all the final cut pro or pro tools keyboard shortcuts.
or you just want to drop a TON of cash on something that probably doesn't feel as good for typing as a stupid 20 dollar mac keyboard.
( gizmodo didn't really give it a glowing review in the "typing" department.

That's where I always wanted a keyboard. Built into my crotch. One handed typing?

Games. Photoshop. FCP. No, it's no good for the average user.

He has some more interesting ideas on his website.
And an obsession with T.A.t.u.
