I have a Das Keyboard, it's a really nice product, mechanical switches etc. I don't see a use case for this though, I rarely look at my keyboard.

- the_duke 10y agoAnd why is that? Because usually there's absolutely no reason to do so, because it's static and you you have the layout in muscle memory.
- grogenaut 10y ago- because the density of information on the screen is higher and the screen is much larger. - Because staring at your keyboard isn't great for your neck. - Because when I'm typing I'm outputting my brain into the computer, I'm not trying to take in input. - BECAUSE YOUR HANDS BLOCK THE KEYBOARD. The mouse is more of a follow and enter type of interface, as is touch. Keyboards are a high ply (eg 102 keys + shifts) with chords and chains, in that a you generally hit a series of keys to do something (typing) and not a single button. So massively more options than the 12 they can get up there on the top row. So memorization wins out in my mind here. Where I think this would help is when you're learning new things and have to move your hand to figure it out. Like say a new character in dota... but again the monitor is better. This keyboard looks cool tho. Tho wish they'd put some non-mac pics up.
