The price will drop eventually.
Or hopefully I'll make enough when it comes out to justify spending my money one.

I'd buy it now in a heartbeat.

I'd have to use one first though, as a programer, the tactile feel of my input devices is key. 😀
 
I rather fancy the look of the ergonomic one; but I bet I'll have slightly less positive feelings when it comes time to speed $600 to save the basic function of my hands.

The Logitech's Dinovo Edge is beautiful. Too bad it's $200 for a keyboard.

I've got the orginal Dinovo keyboard and mouse set. This new board looks great.

I'd not seen that, do they sell them at B&M stores? I'd love to try one out. I'd definetly buy that waiting for the Optiumus.

WTF? You must be rounding up to the nearest ten-thousand then, I've heard as much as 600 and as low as 350 MSRP.

HERE is a link to the set i own.

The latest version has a different colour tone (silver as opposed to dark grey like mine), as well as a laser mouse. The set i have is not sold anymore by the looks of it.

Time to hunt one down!
 
Those Optimus LCD keyboards are nothing more than vaporware right now. Last I heard, the OLED keys were expected to cost $10 A KEY, making the keyboard cost about $1,100 just to produce. Add in the costs for R&D and a healthy profit margin, and you're looking at a $2,000 retail priced keyboard.

If you can find someone willing to spend two grand on a keyboard, let me know. I want to work for that person 🙂
