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


No fucking waaaay!

W@Y D0o!) 1337 !!!!1111!!!!!!

Only problem I can see with it is the image burn problems with OLED technology but then they say it comes with a keysaver like a screensaver for your keyboard and I'd bet that they would have every key very very slightly animated to avoid that happening.

Not only is every key a seperate display but every key can be programmed to be a command or chain of commands independently from every other key. So you could program a single key with a long cheat or something like that for a game or a long process in an art package. Oooooh.

Whats Russian technology like though? Maybe its bugged and the kremlin will be spying on us all with it :shock:

Looks nice. However, I’m not too crazy about paying too much $$$ for a keyboard.

Yeah sites talking about it are estimating $150 -$300.

Thats quite pricey for a novelty item but I can see the advantages of having one if you really use a keyboard for multiple programs.
