Optimus Maximus Keyboard Is An Instant Antique

by Josh on February 26, 2008 · View Comments

optimus-maximus-keyboard.jpgThere’s this stylish new keyboard that’s been floating around the sphere of tech-hungry computer users. One with programmable keys. Oh, and each key is a separate full-color OLED display.

If you frequent tech blogs, you’ve probably seen this or a video. It’s certainly cool, but also makes one think of how antiquated a keyboard seems with the touch sensitive stuff that’s out. However, it does redefine the possibilities of what the keyboard can be.

Worth $462.27?
*Laugh* Still, it’s kinda cool and may have some applications but I remain stomping my feet for more. I’d like to see something that uses the touch interface and that doesn’t stop working when a co-worker spills his afternoon smoothie on it. Something like their Tactus Concept. Now that’s some style.

You can find out more at the ArtLebdev site.

Josh, this is funny. Check out this old article on my personal blog. ?Antique is right! I wish they still made these things (I'm down to my last one):
