United Keys and Foxconn Working on OLED Keyboard

[malware]

The Swedish industrial design and engineering firm United Keys in collaboration with Foxconn, may soon produce a ground-breaking keyboard for PC gaming, and displace "soon to be shipped" Art Lebedev's Optimus keyboard. United Keys will make their debut with the release of this Foxconn build display key PC keyboard, with a set of nine OLED keys (funny, but the concept pictured has 12 OLED keys, who knows). Unfortunately that's all the information given with the press release.

hopefully it would be affordable

That looks pretty cool good to get some new ideas on keyboards instead of the usual 3 shades of black.

anyone notice it looks very similar to the microsoft internet keyboard of yesteryear?

still...nice ideas in it

 

[Triprift]

Yeah it does actually thanks for pointing that out.

0LED screened keys,..what will they think of next!

 

[WarEagleAU]

Better be cheaper.

i highly doubt it, may undercut the market a bit but will still be very expensive upon release

Comparing those two pics of the keyboards, the MS one, and this new one, that pic looks photoshopped with the OLED keys overlayed onto the F1-F12 keys... thus there's 12 keys instead of the 9 quoted. Look at the line between the silver and the black... totally edited.

However, if the idea is indeed real, this is really kewl, and a great new innovation for keyboards. Look for Logitech to gobble this up for the next gen on g15
