Optimus Maximus official press shots

For $1,490, we should -- at the very least -- expect some free press shots of the Optimus Maximus this morning, right? Good, 'cause that's all we're going to get from the design cats at Art. Lebedev Studio. No prototype, no working OLED keys, just press shots. Still, kinda dreamy eh? Cue the Chinese knockoffs... now.

It looks good, but thats missing the point of what a good keyboard is and to illustrate my point, I direct you to the best keyboard the world has ever seen. The IBM selectric, awesome keys and when you touch one it responds with a delightfully tactile sensation. If some one could bring that to a computer keyboard, then that would be the business.

It's a cool enough keyboard. Of course it's WAY out of the common users reach price-wise. It is however the perfect example of hoe the technology is WAY ahead of the actual need for it. OLED keyboards will be common place probably within 5 years and will be reasonably priced I think.

Agree with all above, my only addition would be that there already is a keyboard out there with fantastic 'type feel' (á la the old IBM) due to mechanical and individually weighted keys (i.e. there's less resistance in the keys you will depress with your little fingers, etc) AND a design that makes a) more people turn around and b) in a way that reflects more positively on you, the typer. It's called Das Keyboard and will only set you back $90.

I mean, seriously, is anyone of you still looking at the keyboard while you type? :-)
