OLed Keyboard

I just want's to show this crazy keyboard to all you great guys in here

Keyboard
It has OLeds in every key, so it is easy to change the layout, it would be funny in the car

I also found this small screen, i know its not a input device, but its still cute
Display
It only uses power when the screen is changing, also perfect for a car

I saw those OLED display buttons about a year ago, being marketed as individual switches, they were like a few hundred bucks apiece... and I wondered how long it would be before someone made a keyboard out of them

Cool!! Now why can't they make a universal remote like that?

I admit that it's very cool. How do they get the key displays to the keys, though? USB?
Also, the flat keys could make for uncomfortable typing. It's more of a zoot thing. (Not that zoot is BAD, mind you...)

I would imagine it would have to be USB, probably even USB 2.0 to handle the data transfer unless the keyboard stores all the info and just changes it based on the program you are running
