UnitedKeys keyboard with 9 OLED keys offers layer commands
Harshpaul | Jan 6 2009

UnitedKey’s OLED keyboard is simple to look at, nine large monochromatic moddable keys at the left, each with a 64×64 resolution. This OLED keyboard is similar to the much popular Optimus Maximus, with the difference that the Maximus provides a full range of colors as compared to the monochromatic yellow on the UnitedKey, but this one scores an advantage in having “layer commands” for the computer.

The Layer commands work well with applications, as you use a particular application with a key, a sub-grid can be built for tasks related to that particular applications. As an example, once in Gmail, you can create a sub-grid of nine keys with Gmail-related tasks. The only problem is that creating these layers can be painfully time consuming. Apparently, the $260 keyboard doesn’t work well with Windows Vista, either.
