A keyboard with little lcd displays in each button!

Could be a future midibox technology.... Probably stupidly expensive at the moment though

the actual function of the button could be displayed or something like that... ;D :o

i dont know where hes getting the big buttons like the spacebar, i know a company makes the smaller ones. maybe NKK? but they are like 30-50$ USD if i remember correctly. so thats one expensive keyboard.

nice looking. There is a simpler version already in use on the Digico D5 live consoles.

Yeah, I think JLCooper uses something similar on some of the high dollar post controllers. I try not to see stuff that costs that much ;)
