Akali Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 this looks like a cool idea but i dont think this will work because usually things like this dont work but i could be wrong and this could be a really cool thing to have if your texting or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I don't see how it will work.You just type on a highlighted surface and it does it? doesn't really work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 THE FUTURE IS HERE! On a more serious note, I'm never going to buy this. I like the keyboard I have now and also just using the keyboard on my laptop is enough for me. Well, I much prefer it to be honest. Nice idea, I have seen this keyboard before but it's not something I'll think about buying anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I could not help but notice..... The enter key is still its substantially enormous size. They can put a keyboard on nothing and still overlook the primitives.... Great article by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShockGazm Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm in the same boat as you guys, don't need it or want it. Just thought it looked cool. It is pretty cool looking to be fair. It's the type of thing I'd buy if I had money to spare. If your a tech geek it's a must buy,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Guys, it tracks finger movements. It's not too hard to understand. Say your finger presses the "3" key: the sensor can tell how close or far you are from the sensor and it would register what key you pressed according to where your finger is.

Is not JL Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) ..... Year's now we've had this. Years. YEARS. Get used to it, using it will be fine. But considering I only play around with the ones on shelf display, I won't ever give up my awesome mac's key feels. Guys, it tracks beware NSA Edited March 2, 2014 by JL - Lightning Blaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach10Hayley Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm somewhat surprised of how much humanity has evolved. Innovations are either helpful or not helpful. I have yet to decide if this would be beneficial. Swell information, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
