Unfortunately these are still a bit too expensive to e.g. have one on every key of a standard 101-key keyboard.

Think this was $1200. Honestly don’t think I would spend any extra money on dynamic keys- I never look at my keyboard.

The Elgato Stream Decks, although not keyboards proper, come very close

That keyboard definitely had wow factor for me when it came out.

It was like: wow this is overkill... but it looks so nice with custom layouts that match the games.

I think they’d be functionally useless for my daily driver, but a keyboard that shows contextual hot keys to an app I’m learning (photoshop, blender, etc) would be a game changer.

		If only Apple would have done that with the F keys instead of the touch stripe they tried...

I want them in arcade buttons to show the mapping for the currently playing emulator / game. You can get circular 0.71 inch LCD screens for under $1.50 (160x160) - which will fit all sizes of arcade buttons, but for some reason no one built this yet... :)

Admittedly at $2, thats within the cost bucket of an expensive keyboard.
