I want this keyboard

Optimus Keybord




Found on L'ink

Ps: The site is a bit slow.

Pretty cool but it would be painful setting up all the application profiles.

Hopefully the company that ends up making this keyboard, is going to do the job for us.

Very good looking. I also liek the looks of that arrow-shaped mouse on that page.

No comparison

Very cool! I want one as well. But I think it will be pretty expensive.

 

[digitalwanderer]

Looks kewl as hell, but I bet it'll be more than a high-end next gen viddy card ! :?

 

[Humus]

Damn, I'd like to have one of those. Perfect when switching between English and Swedish keyboard layouts.

 

[Farid]

Cool? No, this is killer!

Now the next step is the flying cars and the jet packs for everyone.

If this stuff retails for less than $99, I'll buy it imediatly. If it goes for $199 I'll think about it. If it's more, well, then I'll wait.

Except that you can't get the Swedish layout on that keyboard since the physical layout is wrong. But you could of course get a semi-Swedish keyboard.

I saw something about such a keyboard several years ago, but then it disappeared. Probably because digi was right about the price.

If it comes with a superb feeling, and fully diode coupled key matrix, I could pay maybe $200 for it (just for the geek value ). But I doubt it would be that cheap.

Too bad it's not split & ergo.

There's a little comment in there about an ergo version coming.

They have a little FAQ up

I've never liked or found much use for the "quick access keys" found in most keyboards today, so I find this kind of application configurable keyboard a bit useless for me.
I find it much easier to use the functions in apps from the menus on screen, with my mouse, than having to switch my view from screen to keyboard to use some function.

But for illuminated keys I'd find much use. like the Saitek Eclipse keyboard. Just that I don't think it's yet available in scandinavian.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I think its usefull simply because I don't need to remember key combinations...i'll just have the applications Icon right there..starring me in the face.

Is the Optimus keyboard really smart though? So when you press CTRL or SHIFT it would change the symbol on the corresponding keys that are effected? Eg. you press CTRL and the 'C' changes to a 'copy' symbol?

It will cost less than a good mobile phone.

So about 200-300 euro? My Nokia has a market price of 450 and it is a good phone
