apparently they're pretty "bling", but in real life it's not that useful, since there's no tactile feedback at all.

I wonder how many key "hits" it can read at once.
It would be awesome if someone coded an interface editor. Then you could project your own controller and play it. Maybe it could even provide some visual feedback... like you have it project a fader interface and it provides visual feedback of the level a fader is set to (showing a bar at the proper level perhaps). This seems like the first steps towards an affordable version of that interface that had such nice online demo movies a year or two back (I think maybe it was created by some students at MIT's Media Lab maybe?)... Looks very promising to me...
