Keyboard is a part of the hardware need to be used together to express what the people want. With
the pace of the changing technology, it will make work become easier. The
solution is the creation of the E-Inkey keyboard. E-Inkey is a keyboard whereby
it could set the standard for the next generation of keyboards. Means that for
any software, the icon regards to the function will appear on the keyboard. E-Ink (electrophoretic ink) is a
specific proprietary type of electronic paper manufactured by
E Ink Corporation.

Every key on the keyboard has an E-ink screen on it
which means they can change the icon according to the software we will
see
on them. So when we are in a program like
Photoshop, the keys could change to Photoshop shortcuts which would help us greatly when performing action. It does not available to Photoshop, it also can be apply to basically any other program too. The idea is so brilliant but simple
too. With E-Ink being a lot cheaper than having actual screens as keys, it
could easily be pretty affordable.

As we can see, the icon will appear according to the
type of software. The position is still the same with QWERTY keyboard. So the
people may memorize it better since it use the same place.
