My Next Keyboard
Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 9:27AM
I have found my next keyboard...and it's only a mere $463 USD!!!
The Optimus Maximus by Art Lebedev is pretty awesome. Each key top on the keyboard has a static screen underneath it and only clear caps are pressed on the keyboard allowing for each key to be programmed with a specific image. So if you use a different language each key changes to the language you configure and the shortcut keys on the side can actually be programmed with an image of the app you are using the shortcut for....pretty cool if you ask me.
Here is an image of the software used to program the keys:

This will make for a pretty awesome keyboard for those readers who can afford the price tag...what are your thoughts?
This keyboard and more information can be found at Art Lebedev's website.
