seriously that keyboard would be awesome for every usage type, from Working to editing video to gaming.

lets say for WoW(big modding community), they make it so you can put more quick acess moves on the keyboard instead of moving to mouse, or make it so that Vent is open on the keyboard while WoW is up on the screen........that is just an easy example]]>Aug 12th 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/]]>Aug 12th 2010 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/OMG familiar tune WTF!]]>Aug 12th 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Still that wouldnt make the keys bounce... and they cant use springs... an option could making the entire key a transparent rubber plunger... but would it be a little annoying typing on a rubber keyboard....]]>Aug 12th 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/

Or in photoshop, you could choose your tool from the touchscreen above the keyboard, and then the keys would change into tool specific functions.
You could use it to quickly change between qwerty and dvorak.
Having a keyboard that can change layout and functions in a heart beat and still provide tactile feedback (as opposed to virtual keyboards), would simplify my life greatly, and increase productivity... I would probably choose this over a tablet i i could only get one]]>Aug 12th 2010 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/Aug 12th 2010 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/

With a virtual keyboard, you can get tactile, visual, and also audio feedback. Plus there are tons of innovations you can do to make your interactions with programs more productive. I think the physical keyboard keeps us back. Practically everything we improve over its physical counterpart using software, turns out much, much better. Word processors, video playback software, etc. In fact the appeal of the smartphone, is that you can take a phone, and use software it to transform it into a million different things. It stands to reason that using software to transform the physical keyboard, will lead to much more innovation and greater productivity. As far as I'm concerned, the physical keyboard has to go.

P. Douglas]]>Aug 12th 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/microsoft-adaptive-keyboard-prototype-debuts-at-center-of-uist-s/
The why the keyboard is quick(est) is because there are physical buttons that help keep hands aligned, thus eliminating the need to look down.

In terms of physically pressing the button, the virtual keyboard must be faster because less effort is required to input a character. The user is only required to lightly touch rather than press a button.

Having the sensation of tactical feedback is merely a preference that we are all use to.]]>Aug 12th 2010 11:22PM
