The adjustable-tilt, backlit LCD can be programmed to display vital in-game information, or data from other applications, without interrupting game play....

RE: Gamers Keyboard by Eljay on 10-09-2005 at 04:35 PM

RE: Gamers Keyboard by Nathan on 10-09-2005 at 04:36 PM

i know, whats the difference if you have an LCD screen that says stuff for example how many bullets you have, you just go all out and hope you hit the target

That keyboard hasnt been made yet
the images are a concept and its in production now.quote:Knowing that stuffs good if you play seriously, for example playing couter strike and your about to rush a room, you need to make sure you dont just have one bullet left otherwise your stuffed.

I want one purely to play CSS on
RE: Gamers Keyboard by -dt- on 10-09-2005 at 05:26 PM
lol my friend has been drooling over that.
looks too big for my likeing
RE: Gamers Keyboard by [MR] on 10-09-2005 at 05:27 PM
i think it looks ugly
RE: Gamers Keyboard by user27089 on 10-09-2005 at 05:37 PM
It looks pretty cool, but I can't really see the point, if you're playing a game, then you haven't got time to keep looking at a little screen on your keyboard... The only time I ever look at my keyboard is when I am cleaning it or something... It would be a waste of money to a lot of people...
RE: Gamers Keyboard by t1a0s on 10-09-2005 at 05:42 PM
With most of games, it already says what you really need to know (e.g amount of bullets left) in one of the corners anyway. It'd put me off the game if i kept having to look at the keyboard.
RE: Gamers Keyboard by paperless on 10-09-2005 at 05:45 PM
Ive seen this a week ago.
Ireally like it though yeah the little LCD screen wouldnt be useful while ingame but it couild be useful for other stuff.
Like while you are waiting for the game to tsrat again in AAO and check the clock, not for the number of nades, thats useless.
Retroiluminated keys is very nice tho not for the usability but because its pretty.
TYHe location of the extra keys sucks very badly and i wouldnt use them, just for some rare cases.
RE: Gamers Keyboard by SikStyles on 10-09-2005 at 08:31 PM
it can also show conversations, Instant messages, on that screen but still i wouldnt buy it as i said before
RE: Gamers Keyboard by Negro_Joe on 10-09-2005 at 08:34 PM
looks like a control panel of a star trek spaceship...
i wouldnt get it either...its all on the screen....
RE: Gamers Keyboard by fishybobbins on 10-09-2005 at 08:55 PM
I think it would be good for stealth games but not good for fast paced FPS's.
RE: Gamers Keyboard by Jimcando on 10-09-2005 at 10:05 PM
I would want one purely because it's better than the keyboard I have now. All I've got at the moment is a crappy Microsoft one. And it looks crap 
RE: Gamers Keyboard by Ezra on 10-09-2005 at 10:11 PM
They should make an LCARS keyboard system
Just make a touchscreen-board
So have a lcd-screen with a keyboard config on it, and let the touch part see what keys you click 
This way you can easily change your layout and do whatever you want
Make it change into a syntesizer or something

i was thinking that, but it'd be too fiddly, my fatty hands would just fumble allover the place if i didn't have substantial keys to press. though i maybe touch screen keyboard would work

RE: Gamers Keyboard by Negro_Joe on 10-10-2005 at 11:38 AM
i like the idea of an LCD dynamic keyboard. There probs already out in japan or something...
RE: Gamers Keyboard by brian on 10-10-2005 at 03:04 PM
There's a HUD in the game; care looking at it?
Anyways, atleast when looking for ingame HUD, you can see if someone "will" come.
RE: Gamers Keyboard by Vilkku on 10-10-2005 at 03:07 PM
It's this one.
RE: Gamers Keyboard by lizard.boy on 10-10-2005 at 03:08 PM
i'd rather get a2x40 or 4x40 lcd display and mount it above my monitor.. i actually look there sometimes.

But I think it's only for mobile phones / stuff that don't have a keyboard attached
I saw it on Newsround
RE: Gamers Keyboard by Millenium_edition on 10-10-2005 at 04:21 PM
get a second screen and write an app which shows it in big on your second screen...
problem solved?
