Looks like Darth Vadar in the video. 

I don't see why they haven't made them before.  I would be concerned about the black keys.  They're already narrow enough inbetween them. 

I remember hearing something about a curved keyboard.  Same idea.  More reach.

I saw this a couple of years ago.  I would love to have one, but at that price.. I don't think so.
