The bad idea of the day: a touch screen keyboard as

Minebea Leaf Cool Keyboard is a USB keyboard composed only of a great tactile surface that can act as a mirror when turned off. A lack of functionality and design errors make the wrong idea of the day. One could almost imagine that this could replace the keyboard Optimus Maximus keyboard with OLED keys (see "The Optimus Maximus keyboard finally come true!").

Art Lebedev's model is far from comfortable, but offers a level of personalization impressive. The problem is that Minebea Leaf Cool Keyboard is not customizable. The user only has the English keyboards, German French and Italian. Curiously, it will first be marketed in Japan for over 150 €.

The drivers are only compatible with Windows but a Mac version is planned. Finally, as shown in the video below made by our colleagues from Akihabara News, the noise emitted by the keyboard every time you press a key is potentially dangerous to the psychological well-being of the user.
