Imagine a keyboard with small wells instead of buttons for each key. Simply inserting your finger into the well you would trigger a sensor and the keyboard would respond with a sexy, futuristic noise and/or visual confirmation instead of a loud key clack. Also different keys or macros/key combos could trigger different sounds.
For example: you play your favorite FPS and hear a different noise each time you select a
different weapon, allowing you to avoid looking off the screen at any point.

or:

You are increasing or decreasing some value of your photoshop document and the key
responds by generating a louder or quiter noise.

Let me know if you would buy it and/or what you would change and use it for in the comments.
