Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys

Slashdot has a really cool story about a new keyboard with some serious geek quotient:
What appears to be a Russian design company has on their website a keyboard in which the keys are using OLED to display what function the keys represent. The product is [0]Art. Lebedev Studio's Optimus Keyboard. The uses of this could be amazing. They have pictures of layouts for Photoshop and Quake, as well as a QWERTY and Russian. Here's hoping that this will make it to a production model and not just a design model.
This looks pretty sweet, I thought at first the keys would be ungainly and ugly but the imaging is really nice, not very blocky, and infinitely customizable. Very stylish look as well. Check it out.
