nice antidote to the touchscreen fad. i hope we don't lose the precision and feedback of tactile input devices.

It'd also be great for sneaking in a look around and over corners in sniper shooting based FPS scenarios. Seriously, please make this peripheral happen!

Excellent, every key can function as a variable accelerator for running, jumping, and driving in 3D games the way consoles currently do with gamepads!!! Why this hasn't been released yet for the PC/Console gaming markets is beyond me. It'd be the next best gaming peripheral - no more having to hold shift to run or to switch between run/walk. Depending on the amount of key press a player could crouch/crawl/walk/walk faster - all the way to run in any FPS.

Damn cool. But little application for now. I always want to play music with QWERTY keyboards

Sweet. I hope this gets produced.
