If they had had individual keys with screens instead of the Touch Bar I think everyone would have been happy. Have it default to a normal function row but give people the option to customize, let apps customize it behind a modifier key, etc.

- thomassmith65 2mo agoYes, there was a lot of buzz about a keyboard like that from Art Lebedev* for several years prior to Apple's touch bar. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard
