Optimus Maximus

Hands-on with Optimus Maximus (at last!) - Engadget
(check out the advertising with sound turned on for a good laugh)

I've been watching this keyboard for some time now. The idea (to me) is just freaking awesome, the ability to customize each key, and display anything you want on said key because they all have LCDs built in.

Unfortunately its ungodly expensive, so its only a pipe dream for me

Optimus Video: First Video of the Optimus Keyboard Actually Working and Looking Awesome

Found a video of it in use, even cooler than I thought it would be. The ability to change the types of letters, colors, etc, can make this thing perfect for so many different types of uses.

Optimus Maximus in minimus sub-$1000 configurations - Engadget

Sweet, now I only need 600 bucks....

If only money grew on trees I would have one of these keyboards. I don't get teh $462 version, why would anyone want a LCD spacebar?

"Optimus Maximus" sounds like some guy from a gladiator movie.

I dunno, I think the name fits, cause the keyboard is the king of all kingboards. And then Maximus simply tells you its the top end model.

Some day these things will come down in price, and than I'll be happy to get one.

I also want one of those LCD wacom tables. Its a screen you can drawn on, just like a canvas. I see them being used by graphics/game designers and it makes me want to get into that industry.
