Optimus Maximus
If you havn’t heard of it thats the name of the keyboard being produced by the Art. Lebedev Studio (pic below), the idea of it has been floating around the blogosphere for over a year now since it was conceptualized. There is now a count down on their site for the pre-orders. But errr, its only now that the ‘maximus’ part of the name makes sense, a price of €1256.86 is quite incredible for a keyboard. Ok ok so its got OLED’s in it, but I doubt they’ll shift enough to cover development and manufacturing costs. I’m sure they have a good sales pitch planned, they’ll need it! arstechnica summed it up quite well. No-one thought it would be cheap but this is commercial suicide!
Oh and having just upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.2 maybe I’ll start posting a bit more, once I sort out my lash-up of a template that is.
