I've not only heard of this, I've used one before at a demonstration. Unfortunately, it's like violet dye in ancient times: practically perfect and one of the best things to have, but way too expensive for mortal men. Unless you usually spend upwards of 400 american greenbacks for a keyboard. Laughing

I guess someone would have that kind of money, and it might be worth it if you could afford it Shocked

That keyboard is exactly the thing I've been looking for since I turned into an efficiency nut. That combined with ion3 in linux would be insane. Looks like the programming software is windows only, I wonder if it would work in wine. Not like I have the money to buy it anyway Rolling Eyes

We ordered one of these http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=110909 projection keyboards at work to try out and just because it looked interesting. It was around $200 Australian. There are several similar ones available, eg. http://www.palmzone.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=211

Anyway, the thing was virtually useless... you had to be in a dimly lit room and type slowly and carefully. Obviously there's no tactile feedback but it did have an audible clicker. As a "proof of concept" and an interesting gadget it was fascinating, but as a practical product to buy and use, forget it! Give me a mobile phone keypad over this any day.
