Not that I have a real issue with touch keyboards, this is very very cool. I won't personally get a new tablet for quite a while, I'll think much more strongly about it when they figure out a way for touchscreen keyboards to have travel and tactile feedback.

So there are varying levels of sensitivity associated with the firmness of the buttons, as set in the demo the buttons triggered with a very light touch, more like a bumpy capacitive touch screen. It's unclear what effect firming or softening the action of the keys would have on triggering an input.
