Pretty neat keyboard

dancingmaniac3 · 07-15-2005, 08:38 AM

Sorry if this has been posted before, but i just came across this on Ebaums...

http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/

Supposedly it's an LCD keyboard, and instead of having paint-on letters on the keys, they are lit up by however you set your computer to have it. Even if you go to photoshop, the keys change to hot keys for whatever u need them for...Or if u play games i guess, they change to the controls so u can look down and see what each key does instead of having to go to the Keyboard Configuration in the options menu of each game or whatever lol. Anyway i find this keyboard pretty slick and cool...

Quote:

Optimus is good for any layouts—Cyrillic, Ancient Greek, Georgian, Arabian—and so on to infinity: notes, numerals, special symbols, HTML codes, mathematical functions.

Every key of the Optimus keyboard is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment.

Wow, that looks awesome. Could you find out the price? I know i'll never have enough to buy it, but i'm just interested.

Although the Mus Mouse seems a little stupid. I think it would be hard and annoying to find a way to grab an arrow.

tnyhwk900 · 07-15-2005, 08:47 AM

It's not out yet... scoured pricegrabber and ebay with no luck.

I wonder if that can adapt to any PC games. That would totally be da shit. That would also mean no more flipping through some guide that is wrong half the time.

XDDRCutieX · 07-15-2005, 01:47 PM

I want it. It's so cool looking! Must start saving up. =/
