Optimus Tactus does not have physical keys, which means there are no restrictions on their shape and size. Any part of the keyboard surface can be programmed to perform any function or to display any images.

I wonder how much this will cost. The first Optimus costed almost $500 dollars Optimus

The question is will it ever see the light of day considering apple owns so many patents in that area.

I need to be able to feel the buttons pressing. Ideas like this are not worth the looks.

It's still an interesting idea. I'd get it, if I had the money. Something to show off.

Agreed. Definitely like knowing what keys I've pressed and what I haven't without key platforms I wouldn't know where to put my fingers

Now if only each button would beep randomly like a Star Trek: The Next Generation Comm panel.
