Optimus Maximus Available for Preorder

Priced at 43,990 rubels, or roughly US $1500, the Optimus Maximus keyboard is now being sold via preorder from Art. Lebedev Studio.rnrnThe keyboard sports 113 keys, each comprised of a roughly 1/2-inch OLED display for fully customizable layouts.

Oh wow, only 1200$ more than his original estimate.

Im so getting one.................yeah right.

Hum we could buy a couple of ps3s for that price!

It's a great idea but is every key a cell processor?

Awesome, but not worth it in the slightest.

Yeah, because, just like video cards (and every other complex product), the price will remain this high for many years. :rolleyes:

1500 bucks, fuck!

Cool that it's finally coming out, I remember drooling over the original pics years ago. Fuck $1500 though. In 5-10 years we'll all have one of these on our desk though :D

In 5-10 years, your keyboard will be an LCD screen. :)

When I checked this project out - It was slated at 330 bucks, and the life of the keybaord was expected was about 2 years of use. For those of you who beat the living shit out of your electronics...it's 300 for it.

$1200 now? well, I hope they increased it's durability and made a much larger library for compatability.

weeeeeeeell...doesnt each key have 96x96 pixel screen?...and there's 113 on them...my guess whose little LCDs dont come cheap

Man when that gets cheaper, I'm so getting one.

So they decided to use all color keys after all?

I thought this was going to be about Transformers :(


What a let down.
