I know the buttons are displays of some sort and variable - but the current numbers displayed seem a bit out of whack... Lets use dice glyphs!, oh wait only 6 dice glyphs, so 7 next, oh I know lets use Roman numerals, so Viii after that... hmm dont know how to do 0 in Roman numerals - lets just go with 9 and 0 at the end....

--edit--

Wow I'm tired and grouchy. Ignore above comment, it's just groggy ramblings - goodnight!

Popularis approved just because of the space invader.
I was right at GH that this would be a killer keycap.

Price and look is just abysmal.

The big one absolutely doesn't look like the kind of keyboard I would want to type on. Those small keys ...
The small unit has the same keys - and only 6 of them.

Real keycaps are to be found only on the middle unit (the one for 534$).
15 keys. Well, I'd rather have one with 16 LCD keys and an additional 12 standard MX black switches for only a fifth of that price:

I thought the maximus (left) was Cherry MLswitches (not so bad).
But these 6 keys things and popularis are scissor switches ?

Morevoer it doesn't work on Linux.
