The Coolest Keyboard alive

May 17th 2007 09:08
Optimus Keyboard

With "writer" as my profession, I always make sure my keyboard is comfortable. If not, I'm not afraid to spend money and get another one, cause after all it's what I use most of the time. My keyboard and my screen.

Few years ago we got a first look at this great concept of a keyboard, called Optimus, where you can choose what the keys will show. For instance if you play a game with special controls, you can change the layout to show them. Or if you write in another language or with other characters than latin, you can make it show those letters instead.


I would buy one for sure, but when I saw the price I decided not to. Actually I was forced not to. With $1564 I prefer to get something much bigger. Like a space shuttle or something.

If you still feel like you're making too much money, they'll take pre-orders in a couple of days. There's a countdown you can follow over here.

I'm pretty sure the first generation of optimus keybaords will only have a black and white screen.

Actually, it'll have color, but not all buttons. The specs are released with the pre-orders so we'll see then.

heh, if you say so.

Just that these things never come out as big as you might think at first.
