Who looks at their keyboard ever when doing anything on a computer? I for one prefer to look at the screen. If you can 't type or don't know the keyboard you probably shouldn't be using a computer let alone playing games on one.

Like the idea of this, not sure how well FPS would play on something like this. For MMOs or RTS I think I would work pretty well. Have to wait and see more if they keep the design going into production

Just gimme the keyboard!

Trying to make a powerful gaming computer at that form factor will likely be expensive.

I'm not sure I'd want a gaming PC that small but the idea behind the keyboard is pretty sweet

I want to see it run some higher powered games, I am not even talking about Crysis 2 or anything. But it had L4D2 on the main screen, can it actually run that game? If so then I will be buying this on day one if the price is right.

I at least want them to make that keyboard for the Desktops because we all know how boss that would be

siiiiiiick! Already texting my buddy who is at the AEE in Vegas to swing by CES and check this out for me. Sent him the link. Question: Is it cool enough to pull him away from Porn Stars? Methinks...yes!

It's running on an Intel Atom processor. It's going to be a piece of garbage. Don't get me wrong, I love Razer products but they really have to step it up when it comes to determining what kind of processor to use.

So it's razor, it will be a plastic feeling "futuristic" tacky designed over priced peripheral. I'll wait until logitech steals their concept and makes a more affordable, longer lasting, better product. I do like the concept though. I only wish that it was coming from a company that I have had better experiences through.

so, even with games in the future we could see those images on the keyboard? very interesting idea, but i can see this requiring a good amount of developer cooperation

I'm tempted to say that I want one, but I know how much that type of keyboard alone can run. I dig the range of games they're showing, though. That would beat the hell out of my psp.

that looks so sick. makes gaming on a netbook-sized pc much more possible, although processor and some other hardware is an issue, you will no longer have the screen size issue.

While the keyboard idea is cool, the demo they showed looked filthy. So much dirt and grime I could barely see what was on the buttons at the time. Granted, my keyboard is probably just as dirty, but it doesn't change it's keys for every game I play. Does it come with a wipe for every game session?

This is a piece of tech I will be looking out for. I always have thought of chaning keyboards

Ive always been a Sony gamer and never touched a PC game, but this could be the start of my pc gaming days if this thing is cheaper than an ipad.
