You can view the real version here on Dropbox. It's an Apple wireless keyboard! Click on the paper and start typing, the keys will depress :). It heavily abuses the css3 box shadow attribute ha. It's a work in progress, and I could do a ton more with it. But I felt like sharing it today. Enjoy!
@Natan, I thought about that, but I could see a drastic different in the browser rendered gradient, and using a background with one pre-rendered. So I went with the latter, purely for aesthetic reasons. :p
Ha yeah. I mean it just looked better in general with the gradient from photoshop :P. The one the browsers were rendering wasn't as well dithered as the background image. So I went with the latter ha.
Decided to redesign this demo for this particular experiment. Looks a lot more smooth now, and lends a lot of it's style to the Apple website too. Ditched the slow javascript typing script and went with the point of the demo. Low contrast, smooth gradients, and aluminum. Looks very nice. :)

@Jake I'm actually wanting it to. It would be nifty if when someone clicked a key, it would depress and the letter would appear above on the paper ha.

Marvelous! Why not use CSS3 gradient to replace the background image and have the entire thing made only with CSS. Kudos, mate!
