Imagine keys changing display to match you're favourite music software and than switching to Photoshop etc..

Jesus!... yeah I've heard about this keyboard... nice looking gimmick... and that's all it is in my point of view... especially at that price!

Can't understand though, that it has to cost this much!?... Today we have relatively lowcost colour displays on mobile phones... well... that also makes me wonder why makers of hardware synths still use 16*2 alpha-displays... when will we see synths with 128*16 pixels in color!!!??? ...

I'm with razmo, no way this tech costs more than a powerful PC; they are just milking the cow.
