Sydney (Austalia) - Australian company Fairlight has created a new interactive keyboard that allows full motion videos on every key.

The product is similar to the Art Lebedev OLED keyboard, but Fairlight claims its keyboard is even better.  While OLED products carry a 2000 hour lifespan, the Fairlight peripheral has a nearly infinite life and does not require a graphics card.  The technology powering the advanced keyboard allows each key to have a programmable icon or can make use of 600 different Microsoft fonts.  It can also toggle back and forth between a traditional Qwerty keypad.

The keyboard switching technology eliminates an entire series of synapses that would otherwise be required to navigate from inspiration to execution," said Fairlight CEO John Lacken.

The Fairlight keyboard is shipping now as part of a "media production center" called the Fairlight Xynergi.
