I can never remember what I programmed my function keys to do. I forget which one does what. But what if every key on the keyboard could be a glowing color picture of what it does in the keyboard map?!
So, if F1 launched Quicktime, it was the colored icon for Quicktime. If F2 were Safari, it showed the user the actual Safari application icon?! For editing in Final Cut Pro, each keyboard shortcut could be displayed as the icon associated with that shortcut.
And what about those pesky little control and option keys! For the life of me I can never remember which weird funky little symbol goes with which. I always wished they would put the icon on the key, instead of the words, like they do for the command key! With this keyboard the user could do that!
This has a lot of potential for cool!
Check out this keyboard. If it makes it to market, it will be worth exploring.
