Coolest. Keyboard. Ever!

Yes, I've seen increasing buzz about this just lately ... but, um ... what am I missing? What is the big deal abou this keyboard? I don't get anything unusual about it from looking at the Optimus website. Is it that it has backlit keys? What?

Edited to add: Ok, now that I seem to have learned what's so cool about this keyboard, I just don't see what's so cool about it. The backlit keys can be reassigned to anything you want? What use is that?

Unless I want to learn to type by touch ALL OVER AGAIN, or relearn every hotkey combination I've saved in my fingertip memory over the past two decades, why would I want to reprogram any more than perhaps 3 keys on my keyboard?

Um, not worth $200.

Frankly, I'm looking for a tricked out keyboard to go with my new, tricked out computer. As with the computer itself, I won't hesitate to spend money for glitz and amazing functionality.

I don't see how the Optimus has either.
