Seems to be some form of keyboard with an iPhone stuck on the end - not really sure of the point of it, but I am sure it has its plusses. Maybe server admin'ing? Or speed insulting ingame but realistically not sure what benefit having the phone docked brings to the gaming table.

All in all, unlikely to purchase one.

It probably costs almost as much as a second monitor and that's before factoring the cost of the smartphone in.

Plus, does it support Android? If not, PANTS TO IT.

Sorry, of course, because:

a) We all look at what's on the hotkey we press.
b) These tactile keyboard keys just aren't cutting it any more.
c) It's much easier to find an icon in a sea of icons rather than our well-learned knowledge of letter locations on a keyboard.

Hnngh.

Presumably inspired by the Optimus LED Keyboard and keypads, but you bring your own display. If it was cheap enough and was a decent keyboard I don't think it'd be a terrible choice if you needed a new keyboard. Also if you thought you could use the feature. Personally I've happy with the most basic, good quality keyboards very little money will buy. <3 Cherry

I need to look when typing, so an illuminated keyboard is essential for me, but when I'm gaming...I don't need to look. Maybe 20 years ago when games like flight sims needed a special crib-sheet to tell you what each button did, this and the Optimus would be great ideas, but now...they aren't. Games tell you right there on the Gaming Screen what button you need to press to do stuff, even if that is just an icon with the actual key required displayed in the corner.

Moving icons to the keyboard area is a retrograde move, taking your eyes off where the interactivity is actually happening.
