This post is titled NICE KEYBOARD by author SoulJah.

Photoshop Context Menu
And I can't stress that enough. This is coming out of Russia so the site is totally unintelligible. But whether this is real or not, it's still a great idea to be explored. Imagine your keyboard changing it's keys according to what application you are using it in. Boot up Photoshop, the keys change according to the corresponding tools each key represents. In Quake no more switching to the wrong gun. Typing in Jawi or any other non-latin keyboard scheme won't be such a pain no more.

It achieves this by having OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) which is basically like a low power LCD but much more efficient and vibrant. OLEDs are used now in most Sony digital audio players and particularly the m:robe digital audio player. Imagine the possibilities. Popular applications get to have native support out of the box, but other lesser known applications might have them patched by the end user themselves. I for one, will carry this around where ever I might plonk down and get me some Photoshoppin' time.

But what bothers me is that in the link; http://www.artlebedev.ru/portfolio/optimus/ there's a /portfolio/ directory which leads me to believe that this might be just an engineering student's assignment to come up with a better way to make an input device. Or something. But here's hoping the Moskovitz patent this thing and ship it to our little grubby hands.

My copy of Photoshop and Unreal Tournament awaits. And also Vegas Video Studio. And Flash. And Opera. And w.bloggar. iTunes too, can't forget that.
