I must have this keyboard...Optimus Keyboard

[loup garou]

Update:
Meet the competition. Not as flashy, but still cool!

Too bad it's only a prototype.

Why hasn't someone thought of this earlier?

Interview with Art. Lebedev founder about Optimus.

He's saying $200-300 in about a year, USB2, open source mapping software, OS independent. Sweet.

 

[captains]

cool

 

[Blayze]

nice, I'll take one.

 

[djheater]

Awesome idea....

Probably to expensive at this point but very cool... especially if game designers got onboard and started packaging or providing key layouts...

You could even have keyboard 'screen savers' animated across the keyboard... Be fvcking cool to have qbert jumping all over your keys

 

[Wapp]

sweet keyboard.

 

[Aves]

I want this one.

[Siva]

I never thought I could find a keyboard sexy...

I would pay just about any amount of money for one of those. Good thing I'm getting double pay this week and next.

Couple more pics from the designers. (slow site)

GH, yuck. Almost as bad as P&N or Video.

PS, it's a peripheral anyways.

 

[Aharami]

[andy9o]

[SaturnX]

Wow... that's definately a nice looking piece of hardware, and not to mention practical... if it was reasonably priced I'd pick one up.

The ones with the biometric scanner? Yeah, they have colored keys, but that's about it. No left-hand shortcut panel, much thicker, key layout is different across the board, and no OLEDs! Unless there's a new model I'm unaware of.

yeah...ive seen two. They both have colored keys and one of them has a left-hand panel...what it does I am not sure I guess I shouldve just said that this keyboard REMINDED me of the Bloomberg Keyboards....rather than looks just like it

 

[Juice Box]

I guess the more i look at it....the LESS similar it is
