    The Ultimate Keyboard: Ambient backlighting, proximity sensor, etc

    Found this on Digg:

    Microsoft
    http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ultimatekeyboard/default.mspx


    Looks pretty sweet.


    It's also wireless (30 ft range) and rechargable.

    I'm a sucker for these kinds of toys.

    And it's ergonomic!!!!!!
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

      It looks like it's stealth, too.

            Yeah, that mouse looks like it could go where it wanted undetected - could be a problem if it get's lost
            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

              I'm a sucker for gadgets as much as the next guy, but it looks like they've repositioned the arrow keys and removed the numpad. Maybe they've shuffled some other keys around too, like they do on laptops. I don't like that.

                  I didn't realize the number keys were gone.

                  As for the second post:

                      Looks like they have also moved the arrow keys to the left.

                      Besides who needs ambient backlighting? It's not like you look at the keyboard when you type, right?

                        Sometimes you type one handed.

                          Look up "ambient" in the dictionary, comrade.

                          It's for atmosphere/ambiance in addition to lighting for people who do look where they type (and a lot of people do).

                            It's mood lighting for all the people typing one handed.

                              It looks sweet... though i don't like moving keys around either, and a missing numpad would kill it for me (unless it had a cheap addon numpad, maybe) ... i'm way too fast of a typer with numpad to lose it
