Those indicators don’t stay on the desktop (as far as I know) they only show briefly when you press the key. So if you’re not watching when it pops up, you’ll miss it.

Correct, they show for about 2 seconds.

Now that's something I would definitely buy. I drink a lot of coffee. Thinking more about it, I could use a keyboard that makes my coffee during the day but also keeps my beer cold at night. ;-)
