Nice video! Love the combination of the hardware and software about one product in one video.

My friends always tell me that I hit my keyboard to hard. My text would be big and screaming al over the interwebs.

I like this keyboards and this application very much, how to buy them?

What I really want is a FAST input device. To be really fast, the device must be syllabic and ergonomic. There is really nothing out there that is good or cheap. The best thing I've come across is veyboard, but they seem to have gone out of buisness.

Court recorders can reach 200 wpm, but they use stenography. I need something to write code on.

I've been thinking about something like that for a while. Sometimes I tap out stuff on my QWERTY keyboard while using Ableton Live 8 because it supports using the keyboard as if it was a MIDI (music) keyboard.

Of course QWERTY keyboards don't usually have velocity sensitivity or aftertouch so every hit registers a velocity of 100.

This kind of keyboard would make it much easier for laptop users because they could be used as a makeshift MIDI controller like the Korg nanoPad or the Akai LPD8 (which I just ordered this afternoon).

Since Ableton Live doesn't support this kind of device at the moment you would need to use something like an updated version of GlovePie and MidiYoke or Bomes midi translator to convert data from this keyboard to regular MIDI note and CC information but people already do that now with Wiimotes and other types of controllers.

I've wanted someone to invent this for ages. I would mean that applications could ask "Are you sure" if you tentatively hit delete, but if you give it a good wallop it just does it without asking.
