Title: Laser keyboard - polar opposite of a mechancial keyboard?

Sorry if already posted - I have not been on site in a while but wanted to share:

The Celluon laser keyboard acts exactly like any other "ordinary" keyboard: A direction technology based on an optical recognition mechanism enables the user to tap on the projected key images, while producing real tapping sounds (we call it the WOW effect..).

It's cool and all, but I feel like there'd be a lot of limitations and bugs with it (specific lighting, texture, software, etc...).

I would prefer one of those fold up membrane keyboards to that. They are significantly cheaper and offer a better typing experience.
