What’s the advantage of using Luminae Glass Keyboard?

Do you know what i do everyday before using my PC? I take a piece of cloth and wipe my keyboard, then shake it facing downwards to pull out dirt hiding behind the keys. Apart from cleaning you might have to handle few welcome troubles. For example, Once my niece (Sanjana, two year old little girl) pulled out the space bar from the keyboard. For such problems, Luminae Glass keyboard could be the real answer, it is just plain and no room for dirt.

Moreover the users can design their own custom overlays online and set the keyboard to recognize all the custom keys and shortcuts. Want to change the custom? Just peel the overlay and the keyboard is ready for another. It also offers multitouch facility.

According to the reports, the keyboard will cost  $500 and we are yet to receive information about its release date.
