    this thing is defintely off the hook, but is it really necessary? the keyboard image still doesnt have a numpad. besides i kinda like to have that feeling back when i push down on my keys. but with that keyboard, you can spill anything on it and you wont screw it up :rolleyes:

    That should be painful to use, tapping your finger tips on a solid table with nothing to flex under them! But hey it looks cool, do they come in color, or maybe multi color? :D

    Its pretty cool. I saw it last year. They had another one next to it where you wear a glove, and just move your fingers.
