The £790 Keyboard Ready To Roll: Optimus Maximus
Thu, 17 May 2007
The Optimus Maximus keyboard has acquired the reputation of a technological Bigfoot in recent years, thanks to it being largely invisible. You can see what I mean, here and here.
However, according to its Russian designer, Art Lebedev, all of this cloak and dagger nonsense will end in just over three days when the keyboard, complete with OLED keys, will be available to pre-order for the princely sum of $1,564 (£790).
For those of you still upright and not lying on your backs howling with laughter, the keyboard sports a little OLED display behind the keys. These can be programmed using special software to change the picture on each. Only 200 are being made this year.
Despite being too expensive, this will sell faster than a pair of pre-bald/detox Britney's hotpants, so if you have cash to burn…go here. -Martin Lynch
