Expensive New Optimus Maximus Keyboard
Looking for a way to burn a couple federal rebate checks? Look no further.

The Optimus Maximus keyboard is the definition of cool. Just look at it! It has LCD screens for buttons. Not only that, but the new keyboard can be programmed with any language out there ranging from Cyrillic and Quenya, to special ASCII characters and symbols.
It is really pretty cool to see how they designed it, and the considerations that were made to extend the life and service concerns of an LCD keyboard. Each button on the keyboard consists of a stationary LCD display with a clear moving cap to reduce wear on the individual displays.
The keyboard can be connected to USB ports, requires USB or DC power to function and even has a slot for a memory card so you can save your configurations or create custom ones for various uses.
At almost $1900 US dollars the Optimus Maximus does not come cheap but if I had the money to burn I would definitely pick one up. Think about being the first guy at the LAN party with a “PWN” or “IWIN” key!

Editor’s Note: With such a hefty price tag what are the mainstream applications that people see this product being best suited for? I can’t think of many situations where it would be worth the cost, but the cool factor would make it a fun business write off.
