I had an HP with a ribbon display for multimedia keys 6 years ago. How is that "never done before"?

- computmaxer 10y agoSo did I, but it was a simply something that could have used physical keys. Was it dynamic based on the application you were using or configurable in any way?
- function_seven 10y agoThat ribbon was updated dynamically depending on the application you were using? Did it allow you to re-arrange the commands on it? Did it support scrubbing/swiping as a method of input?

- leecarraher 10y agokinda reminiscent of the 12 year old Nintendo DS display. and in that I suspect developers will by constantly trying to find a purpose, never to much avail beyond some hotkeys, that only hunt and peck typists could appreciate. remember the uber lusted, and uber expensive optimus keyboards?
- madaxe_again 10y agoI'm surprised you're the only person here who has so far mentioned Art Lebedev/Optimus. I have an Optimus mini 3 and an Optimus keyboard. The former I never really got along with as the oled drivers made a loud 18khz whine. The latter, however, I still use for photoshop, gaming, coding, etc. - ain't got no poxy touch strip, my entire keyboard is a technicolor discotechque.
