Sweet i want one too! The W looks a bit out of place though, your hand would be in a funny position. It should just be a little touch over to the right, just a little bit. Maybe its just the picture, or maybe just my keyboard. :P

Sweet! It's just a keyboard! Ah well, I'll get over it...
Perhaps all keyboards aren't the same, but then again, they all have buttons with letters, numbers, and punctuation.  I guess this one just prints out the intended meaning of the keys.  Well, when I play Quake I don't really look at the keys anyways :(
Personally, I like the layout of the Thinkpad keyboards.

They should make one in a "natural" style. I'd buy it.

It's in the initial stage of production.

We hope it will be released in 2006.

It will cost less than a good mobile phone.

It will be real.

It will be OS-independent (at least it's going to be able to work in some default state with any OS).

It will support any language or layout.

Moscow is the capital of Russia.

Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence.

It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available.

Some day it will be split (and made "ergonomic").

It will most likely use the OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow).

Our studio is located two blocks from the Kremlin.

It will feature a key-saver.

Keys could be animated when needed.

It has a numeric keypad because we love it.

There's no snow in Moscow in summer.

It will be available worldwide (why not?)

OEM is possible (why not?)

Lol.

Opensouce keyboard. That is awsome.
