Jon from clickdensity sent me a link to a keyboard where the keys are tiny LED displays. I’ve no idea if this will ever get to market, but it sure looks like a cool concept!
According to their answers page, the API for it will be open - so it should be possible for us to have our very own Larry the Cow key shown no the keyboard, instead of a Windows key.

Yes, they are selling ‘Optimus Mini’ 3-button supplemental keyboard (shipping date May ‘06). You can already order it to try and to develop some plugins.
Full-sized ‘Optimus Keyboard’ (different model) is planned on Q1′2007. Afaik, preview samples will be available this fall. Declared price will be ‘like good mobile phone’.
