I created this keyboard with the goal of having a display in each key. It has 72 keys and each key has a 72x40 px OLED display. They keys can change according to language and layout. Also displaying shortcut icons is possible :)

    How much does a display cost? Reminds me of that keyboard that never materialised line 20 years ago by ArtLebedev.

        Apparently it did. I only remember the three button version. Anyways, it was before its time. Now with the custom keyboard craze, it seems to fit perfectly. Then again, if I wait another 2 years, the chinese will provide me the thing for a quarter of the price.

          People and companies occasionally come back to the idea - there’s the recent Flux, Elgato’s macropad (and its numerous imitators), and who was it that was showing off a keyboard with mini-screens while using Dota 2 skill icons as an example

          Another way to tackle this problem would be to have a little projector (maybe laser, ideally not) next to the keyboard to shine the labels onto the keys
