Actually what I have wanted for some time is keycaps with LCDs.  This
way you can change the symbols on the keyboards depending on whether
you are typing APL, TeX or Sanskrit.  Software would do all the
necessary mapping to whatever your word processor wants.

Yeah, I know touchscreens will do this, but I doubt if a LCD screen can
give me nice tactile feedback.

I suppose it is still too expensive...
