Nice, they stuck display under keyboard... well, I hope your muscle memory is great, because you won't be seeing what key you are pressing... and display feature is distorted by the translucent caps... Guys, just pick one function and be good at it.

You don't think people will create skins which overlay the keys?

I hope so, and I really was waiting to see at least a single one in the video 😞

I suppose the practical purpose is you could dynamically change the key displayed. Have multiple layers? While your function key is pressed you can update the keys to what they are. All those quick keys for applications? Label what each key does instead of trying to remember all the combinations. Does an application not really need a keyboard? Cool, it's now whatever sort of input you want. Music software could show notes, a soundboard could have icons for each sound, etc etc.

Is all of that worth $350 for some first gen tech? Probably not, but I can totally see these catching on eventually.
