Granted its a sweet keyboard and I love the idea of having programmable LED screens on each key and complete key mapping for different programs but even so I can't justify $1589.99 for one. sad24:
Yep. Time to take a second mortgage on your home or break into your kid's college fund. With the singing of angels and a ray of sunlight parting the clouds, the fabled Optimus Maximus Keyboard has descended from Russian design studio Art Lebedev like an orgasm of geekiness. As you should know by now this amazing keyboard features a tiny screen on each key... that's 113 screens in all. What can you do with these tiny screens, you ask? Well, each key can change its image dynamically depending on what you're doing. Hold down SHIFT and all keys go uppercase. Run Photoshop and you can set it so each hotkey has an image representing its function. Set a key to monitor your CPU usage or display what iTunes track you are currently playing. You can make a key into a tiny clock with moving hands and play animated gif files or even quicktime movies. Of course all this futuristic technology is going to cost you a pretty penny... but we figure you'll just expense the Optimus and tout its "incredible increased efficiency when using PowerPoint hotkeys" in your expense report summary.

Hope you bought a rechargeable set of batteries and a charger unit ~ I am told by those that have these wireless jobbies that they eat batteries.

Mouse batteries tend to last about a month, keyboard batteries 4-6 month depending on how usage and interference.

Nick doesn't miss all the keys all they time.
Mrs TG could probably do with your old 'shift' key.

To be fair Darwin, Nick doesnt miss the keys. He hits where he remembers them to be but someone must be moving them around on the keyboard... whistle:
