That is a feature, not a bug. It vastly reduces the chance of RSI,

It's premature to draw that conclusion as data on injury from repetitive
invisible key searching isn't in yet and studies of secondary effects, such
as frustration hurling of the invisible keyboard through windows, are in
the early stage.

On the other side, it's now admitted that preliminary reports of people
injured by hurled invisible keyboards were flawed due to an inability to
definitively identify the invisible object responsible. In addition, the
data was corrupted by "fake hurling" (person pretends to hurl), "virtual
hurling" (person hurled but missed when grabbing the invisible keyboard,
similar to not finding the power on key, so no physical object was actually
in play), and "psychosomatic hurling" (person claims injury when no object
was hurled); now referred to as KH, VH, and PH syndrome, respectively, with
KH using K, for "fake," being necessary to avoid confusion with the primary
"frustration hurling" syndrome designation of "FH."

This is not to say that FH, FK, PH, and VH syndromes are the only secondary
effects, though. They were simply the first to manifest.

as well
as completely eliminating the need for ANY SOFTWARE AT ALL!

Ya got a point there

Replacement cost, after hurling, is high though.

I believe I once read of a set of self adhesive keys that came with a
surface on which to build a customized key layout. And there is always
the laser keyboard; invisible when switched off.

Oh, I want one. But not for that price.

Naw... it's labeled as a "keyboard" in the corner- ruins the
whole effect!
