The most desired keyboard ever goes on pre-order from December 12th, according to their blog.

No prices available yet, but guesstimates by others based on previous commentary by Art Lebdev (the folks making/designing it) puts it at around USD$400-500 - So probably AUD$550 to AUD$700.

Yes, it’s a keyboard. No, it’s not just a keyboard. Every Single Key can be reprogrammed to alter its function (and the display on the key-face too) upon a series of parameters: what application is running, whether you have shift, alt, or ctrl pressed.

For people who aren’t familiar with the key-combinations of their game or application - this can let them learn those key combos to make them faster. 

For those who are familiar with the key-combos, they can record macros (series of keystrokes or other actions) to rapidly fire off a series of events.

You can even re-assign those keys you don’t normally use, to something useful - eg: Photoshop, Firefox, Trillian, etc.

Very Very Very Cool.
