This would be great because the keys would be able to change depending on the type of software you are using.

Designers and Aleksander Suhih Maxim Mezentsev have designed this new keyboard with keys electronic ink we see above. As might be expected, the idea is that the keys may change depending on the situation. This design is undoubtedly very powerful, as it offers many possibilities. Could automatically switch between writing in Japanese and English to give an example, according to the language of the website that we were sailing. They could also be used as a shortcut keys for various functions of some programs. The process could also insert symbols that we are not able to write easily without using keystrokes.

The chances of a keyboard like this are many and we hope to see in the market someday.
