Keys float on the keyboard with magnetic levitation!

If conventional keyboards have been a disgust for you and you're looking for a desperate makeover, then probably Koreans are out to rescue. A Korean company, Embotec has recently unveiled a concept of a new keyboard technology that does away with the traditional rubber and spring type keyboards. This is a concept known as the Magnetic Levitation - that uses magnets to keep the keys on the keyboard floating - so that you experience a natural typing feel, even after a long days work on it.

Embotec should be hailed for projecting a way to bring magnetic levitation to our desktops - that works on the simple electromagnetism principle of physics - wherein, two magnets with same poles repel, therefore, letting the buttons float over the keyboard.

According to Jo Young-Jun, CEO of the company, the keyboard measures the multi-finger force and with the electromagnetic force adjusts the resistance, the response time is quick enough to suit any type of a professional or a gaming geek. No word on the concept's price yet, but you could expect this by the end of the year.
