Antithesis of steampunk?  How about antithesis of productivity?

iMav:
They can BOTH be categorized as "form over function" AFAIC.

Ulysses31:
It looks cool I guess.  That's all that's required for it to be a smash hit to the average Western consumer.  I wonder what keyboards on the space shuttle look like?  That would be (hopefully) the ultimate in function over form.

ashort:
Looks like something out of Minority Report.

While that may be true, I still would go with the steampunk keyboard over the glass one. I would think the steampunk keyboard would last a few life-times. Besides, the action on the glass keyboard would be awful to me.
