OLED Keyboard

The optimus keyboard by Art Lebedev Studios in Moscow is a concept product that hopefully will see the light of day on a retail shelf somepleace, right now it's just a pipe dream. Using OLEDs (Organic Light Emiting Diodes) attached to each key when switching keyboard layouts, the key will change to reflect the new assignment. It would be particularly useful when gaming, each key assigned a function could be lit up leaving the rest of the keyboard dark, so as to minimize confusion when playing GTASA in a dimly lit room. I'd like to see this become a reality, I'd buy one. I allready have a glowing keyboard, it would be nice to get some functionalily as well. The design firm responsible for this initial model claims that a production prototype will be built soon but that's a big IF.
