Optimus Maximus Hands On

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one to see how it does type. Personally, I hate keyboards that have buttons that practically fall down when you look at them. I'm also not a fan of rubber membrane keyboards for typing. Yes, I prefer the old IBM Model M buckle spring keyboards. If I didn't have to have an natural ergonomic keyboard, I would use a Model M on every system. I have.

That is what I was thinking when I read that used mechanical springs. If this thing types like the Model M did, this is gonna be a good keyboard.

Perhaps the Engadget opinion needs to be validated up on by a [H] opinion.

The laziness in these forums always disappoints me. A simple google search for "Optimus Keyboard" pops up the Art Lebedev Studios (the creators of the keyboard) website as the first match:

Where's the source for the $1600 pricing? Just because the first keyboard offered on EBAY got that price doesn't mean that's the price for all the production ones.

You realize that $499 price tag is for only ONE oled capable key (spacebar)? If you want the full configuration (113 keys) its $1564.72. Click the preorder link. :rolleyes:

When you're going to try and make a strong point like that and try and point out how everybody is wrong, better make damn sure you don't like like an idiot by doing it and do ALL your research.

Oops. My bad.

I was wrong to assume the price on their top level page referred to the "full" keyboard.

At least I *will* admit to my mistakes.

With your 30 posts over 1.2 years, it seems this forum's laziness is the same laziness that forces you to overcome yours. ;)
