The website has been updated with a FAQ:

"Keys will use animation when needed"

Very pretty, but the quake setup's pretty useless; if you have to be looking at your keys to find out which one does that you're fucked anyway.

I wonder if you could set it with an animated setup that periodically changed the keys..... Mwahahahaha.

The full blown keyboard is still not available but you can get a little 3 button widget, for £120 or £100 pre-order, BARGIN!

I don't get it.... Is this like those buttons at the top of your keyboard that nobody uses?

Now somebody invent me an 8x6 LCD screen I can put TS on so I know who's abusing me.

Yup.

Get one of those little PSone ones, or one of the various others, then stick it in the front of your case (or suchlike) there's guides for such tricks everywhere.

or just use teamspeakoverlay.

TSO makes my whole PC crash if I alt-tab out of the game, other than that very useful.

Maybe I'll look into a small screen again.

After a cursory Googling I've found a fairly easy tutorial on putting a PSOne screen in your PC, which could be used to just attach it rather than embed the thing in your case. I've found a couple of possible commercial ones, but the cheapest was about £90 and for that price I might as well get a cheap 15" TFT monitor. I would have got a second monitor in the first place, but I just don't have room for it, and I'd only really use it for little things - certainly not worth £90 to me.

Looks like I'll just have to put up with not knowing who's entered TS and having to recognise people's voices (all you southerners sound the same to me

).

Can I have a linkage for the £90 one you found, generic northern person

Turns out it's for a car, but it probably isn't too difficult to get an adapter for the video inputs.

Aha! I knew I got the idea somewhere. Problem was it all looked too complimacated for me at the time, but I may have a look at it again when I have time (read: at work) because it sounds perfect. Also, I don't trust Ebay.

If anyone can find a link to actually "buy" the 3 x TFT wrap-round screen, I will be amazed!

Go-L has always been a scam with vapourware products. I cannot believe people still buy into their crap.
