Tom's Hardware Guide (which gave a good review of Sins of a Solar Empire [published by Stardock]) is reporting that those of you with not enough to skin and too much money on your hands can have a new project.

How much money is too much money?  Ebay had one for sale for $2750US.  And what does that get you?  A keyboard that you can skin the keys of.  You can also map them like macros.  It could be THE ULTIMATE GAMING KEYBOARD OF DOOM!!!  (If you pre-ordered you could have gotten it for $1564.)  Each key is 48 pixels square and supports 64k colors

It's never too late to add this to your birthday wish list.  I'm sure your husband or wife would understand.   :CONGRAT:

When the price drops another $1,350.00 I'll probably get one.

I've been spoiled by my G15, I will forever have to have an LCD screen attached to my keyboard now, along with backlighting (I love working in the dark!). Though I must say I do prefer the original G15 over the new version.

DiNovo Edge ....a fraction of the price but [I wager] better build quality....it's a lovely bit of kit.  I'll stick with what I have.  Besides...no whizz-bang keyboard is good enough for GTR2 or rFactor...;)

But, you know, this is just the sort of goofy overpriced silliness that encourages other companies to do the same thing. Watch - in ten years we'll all have keyboards like this, and laugh at those who still use...urm, Microsoft Comfort Curves. :LOL:

Okay it is kind of cool that it can be done.

But as someone who spends about 16 hours or more a day in front of the pc and looks at the keyboard MAYBE twice a day at most, that is just outrageously insane.
