Interesting.

However, if I can't touch type on a device, I don't much care about the tactile feedback.  So, I'm not so sure how useful this is.  Although, I'll reserve judgment until I can get thumbs on one.  ;)

Well, there is also this, though I don't think it has any tactile feedback.

Yikes.

I think the technology is cool...but man, I don't EVER want to have to type on one of those things!

What they need now (IMNSHO) on those Haptikos screens is a way to dynamically alter the surface of the screen, so that individual keys could be slightly raised at the edges, and have a bump on the F and J keys, but then go back to being a flat screen for drawing or viewing.  I can think of a couple ways to engineer that- the easiest would probably be to have a grid of pins that can be individually raised or lowered, but I'm not sure that the display would be flexible enough for it to work...

It'd be nice, to, if the sounds of the click came from under each key as well, but I'm being really picky.

Nomouse, admirable name BTW, WTF is IMNSHO?

"Optimus Tactus does not have physical keys, which means there are no restrictions on their shape and size."

...which absolutely guarantees that you will bottom out the "keyswitch" on every stroke.
