That would depend on what level you are studying languages.
If it is beyond university, you sure as well might afford it.
No, people when they’re studying other languages like that, can’t afford keyboard like this. They learn to do with changing the layout in the operating system, and not care that keys are not labeled exactly. By the time they can afford something like that, they’re already accustomed to just using a standard keyboard and changing the layout in software.
If you are a person studying and working with many different written languages, this is REALLY helpful, instead of buying a keyboard for every language (Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Japanese…).
So, yes. That would be why. It would be similar to tablets, they are very expensive as well (though not as expensive as this, for some reason. O_o).
It’s a geek thing. The functions are endless, the synching allows for watching films, or coding in a piono, or maybe ukulele, this will soon be a very much needed upgrade of my current keyboard- the microsoft sidewinder 6X
ahem $1600 you meen?
That assumes that you’re only using the keyboard to type English text. You can use it to input predictive coding languages like Perl, etc. Also, there’s those who want to easily switch between say, Japanese/English keyboard layouts and that. I’m sure there’s other uses I can’t think of as I don’t want one myself. I would imagine this is more for the creative professional than anything else.
I agree the price is steep. But, just because it’s not for you, doesn’t mean it’s useless.
It doesn’t matter because nobody wants a nonstandard keyboard layout. It might be funny to swap the “I” and “O” keys on someone for a day, but the joke isn’t worth $800.
Looks like an amazing keyboard with all the programable keys but…………………….Way to expensive!!!!!!!
Well, you are missing a very important thing: you can program whatever you want on ANY and every button.
I largely agree; it is a neat product. Like most, I can appreciate it on an creative/artistic level. However, it solves a problem that doesn’t really exist. *Good typists don’t tend to look at the keys* and standard keyboards are functionally more than adequate. So long as this remains expensive, I see owning one more as a statement of ego.
I would NOT spend 800 bucks on it, agreed.
But if you’ve got money to burn, why not?
Once there’s more demand and production, the price will be driven down.
I dnt understand why people would spend $800 on buying this keybord. I agree that the funstions r revolutionary and i am impressed, but there are macros on other keyboards that you can use to access programs. Yes, you cannot see the icons, but in my opinion, i dnt see the point of buying this…
even is not tu functional for me it’s really cool! nice gadget!
Well, that probably because the keys weren’t like those of a regular keyboard. They were too slippery, from what I heard. But you buy this keyboard because you can make good use of its functions. 175 |*|-|00|2 13375.
um…it’s already in the running for worst gadget of 2008.
People who don’t understand why to buy this: GTFO.
wow he’s got two of them.
These things would be so useful in international type places (you have no idea, if you’re unilingual, what it’s like to be constantly confused because you’re using a french or english keyboard that doesn’t match the actual symbols on the keys).
that has already been out since the O.M. came out dude its like 200$ cheaper lol but it has different layouts u can download whichis tight but this is still better. like spacerat said, it doesn’t give you the tactil response a classic keyboard would
muerete riverini de mierda.
awesome if it showed a demo by typing the letters onto the keyboard
A touch screen can not give you the tactile response that a keyboard does. I’m pretty sure you’d find it considerable harder to type on a touch screen keyboard than you would this or a normal keyboard.
its already outdated they coming out with a touch screen one.
its about 1500 euro and im far not kidding … i will never give so much money for a keyboard LOL gtfo its like as expensive as second hand car
Must be expensive. If not could anybody tell me how much it is, cause I need a new one. Just to replace my 1994 Compaq keyboard.
