Russian scientists at Art Lebedev have created a very cool Optimus keyboard. Each key is a tiny 32x32 pixel display that uses OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) to show full colour buttons. The keyboard layout can change depending on the language or application you are using. Check out the info and pictures for the Optimus; they show the keyboard in "English-mode", "Russian-mode", "Photoshop-mode" and "Quake-mode".
Ananova mention it will be on the market in the UK in 2006 and cost around £200. A bit pricey maybe? Or is it worth it for the "ice-cool factor".
