They still have no excuse for delaying the thing 3 years by changing the design every week.  I fail to see how ANYONE can justify a $1400 keyboard.  I can understand wanting a nice input device, but for that price, I could buy 7 19" LCDs, or a 30" LCD.  You could also outfit yourself with a two of the latest and greatest graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire.  If you are looking at input devices, thats 140 $10 NewEgg no-name keyboards, 70 IBM Model M keyboards (the best), or 7 Logitech DiNovo Edges, DiNovo Lasers, or Microsoft 7000s.  Not to mention the quite well outfitted Dell or even iMac you could purchase with that kind of cash (keyboard included ;) ).  I think that this keyboard is a terrible idea, not for lack of practicality or geekiness, but simply because the price is so astronomical that not even the geekiest among us can really justify the purchase (hmmm... keyboard or a week long trip to Hawaii...)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J Ozer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2007 3:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Optimus Maximus official press shots]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is just a keyboard.

The Diablo doesn't just look cooler, it out performs the Jetta by a long mile. <br>Here are some stats:<br>Jetta: 150 HP; 0-60: too damn slow; how fast it will get you laid: uhmm.. good luck.<br>Diablo: 530 HP; 0-60: 3.9 secs. how fast it will get you laid: if the 3.9 secs is any indication.<br><br>So, unless Optimus Maximus can show it out-performs, which I don't see how it's possible, the best keyboard out there right now, I think we can safely conclude that the makers of Optimus Maximus are smoking crack. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zi Yue]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2007 2:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Optimus Maximus official press shots]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't know if these "press shots" are of a functional prototype, but if the typing "feel" is as good as my Matias Tactile Pro (after all, it's meant to be typed on, not just admired), I'd consider after the usual markdown to $999. For people who type for a living, the keyboard and screen are the most important tools they have, so investing $200 a year on a keyboard is not a big expense. Try developing something like this from scratch; investors want their money back WITH interest.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rotelle3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2007 12:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Optimus Maximus official press shots]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</guid><description><![CDATA[you'd have to be completely brain dead to purchase such an item.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bmckim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2007 1:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Optimus Maximus official press shots]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</guid><description><![CDATA[... and it's ready to play duke nuken forever?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Antonio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2007 1:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Optimus Maximus official press shots]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</guid><description><![CDATA[This keyboard gives me a big stiffy, but I wouldn't spend even $300 on a keyboard, let alone $1500, no matter how sexy!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MrSatyre]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2007 2:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Optimus Maximus official press shots]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/15/optimus-maximus-official-press-shots/</guid><description><![CDATA[According to their LJ, they're also working on a cheaper version where only the ten function keys on the far left have screens, and the rest are just backlit or somesuch.
