Takes me back. https://store.artlebedev.com/electronics/optimus-maximus/#51...

Think this was $1200. Honestly don’t think I would spend any extra money on dynamic keys- I never look at my keyboard.

The Elgato Stream Decks, although not keyboards proper, come very close

Funny you mention that. There's a lineage from one to the other: https://www.theverge.com/c/features/24191410/elgato-stream-d...

Makes sense that they moved from individual screens to one big one under a bunch of transparent keys.

That keyboard definitely had wow factor for me when it came out.

It was like: wow this is overkill... but it looks so nice with custom layouts that match the games.

I think they’d be functionally useless for my daily driver, but a keyboard that shows contextual hot keys to an app I’m learning (photoshop, blender, etc) would be a game changer.

AR glasses or VR passthrough could make some really cool hotkey graphics

If only Apple would have done that with the F keys instead of the touch stripe they tried...
