This link should say it all... www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/But just imagine the possibilities for Starcraft. Well, mainly one possibility, which is to replace all our keyboard letters with unit icons. Hell, it could be screenshots of units. And nobody would have reason to b*tch if they adopted a new hotkey layout like yours truly  Mind you, this keyboard doesn't exist yet, but more news of its development will be disclosed on february 1st. I'm betting it'll cost over $300 USD and that I'll never own one, but its still f***ing sick >< |

Lol nub Steve ;D, you look at your keyboard when you're playing? It would look awesome, but I NEVER look down at my keyboard when I'm playing... I just see no reason to. The best starcraft players in the world (SlayerS`BoXeR, JulyZerg, Xellos, [NC]...YellOw, etc) all use the ghetto simple keyboards. Most of them remove the keys that starcraft doesn't use to make locating keys easier without having to look down. These guys make like $150,000+ a year and they still use the "crappy" keyboards, so they must have a good reason. I'm with them |

Nemo Nemo Nemo... Of course I don't look @ my keyboard!  And Ironically enough I ripped out a good half-dozen keys on my old keyboard as well. On my latest keyboard however I've gone a step further and removed the Start keys & Tasks key from the registry, as well as remapped the hotkeys themself. But not everyone can touchtype unfortunately, so the optimus would come in handy for them. But perhaps with some careful manipulation of C++ one could find a way to make grouped keys display an icon of the most prominent unit in a grouping. does it write in asian? cause I'm not buying a keyboard til they get one that does that. I'm sure the LCD keys would have no trouble displaying Simplified Chinese characters. Traditional would probably require Panoramic Widescreen High Definition LCD keys! >< j/k As for making it appear on screen, its just a matter of setting the default language with whatever passes as a control panel in your operating system. |
