Art Lebedev, widely known for their OLED keyboard has devised a new concept called Optimus Tactus that takes the display keyboard concept to the next level, and might (surprisingly) be easier to build, program and produce. This would initially come at a price, given that the whole keyboard is now a touch-dipslay, making it possible for developers to create any layout – from a traditional keyboard to a custom made interface, which would be great for specialized tasks. Now, even with some tactile feedback, the mechanical feel of a keyboard would be mostly gone. Would you want one? 

Optimus Tactus does not have physical keys, which means there are no restrictions on their shape and size

Any part of the keyboard surface can be programmed to perform any function or to display any images.
