Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 You ain't seen nothin' http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/ I was thinking of all the fantastic ways it could be used.. An interesting feature would be if you could sent it a picture, and it would cut-it up right and display it on the keyboard.. The problems would of course be price, durability, and power consumption, but you can't say that it wouldn't be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover64 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I would easily buy one of these, they should make a program to design little pictures for the keys. Nice find! (Oh gosh, I can't get over it's sweetness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 thats awsome. love how you can have different setups for fps's, photoshop and stuff. too bad its not out yet, i'd buy lol :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 I doubt production will happen anytime soon, if ever. I think it's rather like a concept car - they just made it to prove that it could be done, and to show a cool idea.. I was thinking it'd be cool if you could do music player visualizations across it.. would be insanely draining on the system though, you'd need another computer just to control your keyboard :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover64 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 lol, it's cool though. How hard could it be to honestly make one with the cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it wouldn't be "that" demanding, probaly would be just another aplication in the background, not sure how it would work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I read an article about that keyboard a few days ago, and it does indeed look neat. Probably costs a fortune though, if it will ever be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 If its less than ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã100 I want one :D Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Chris Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Screw the fancy keyboard, I'd want one of them flexible keyboards. I sometimes lose my temper at games (usually when I get killed) so I'd rather not slam my fists down on a ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã90+ keyboard. :P Flexible keyboard wouldn't hurt me as much and probably wouldn't break it either. :D Notoriously Trollish.

AniseCookies Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 omg awsome! nvr seen anything like that before... i wanna like get all the goods for my comp but parents wont let meh :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I saw this the other day too. Yeah it looks good, but it's just another thing to worry about when something in it breaks. You'd also have to keep it amazingly clean so it would look good all the time. I will stick to my keyboards that can be bought for about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã10 thanks. They do the job :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmw Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 ^ Lol Korla. I think the keyboard is fairly unattractive honestly, aside from the 1337 keys of course. So I'm assuming the side keys are programmable, just visual hotkeys right? Thats awesome. Other than the amazing keys, the keyboard itself looks kinda ugly. I dunno how they'll manage to make it look nice and sleek, like my keyboard for example (heh) the Lexmark LX300 desktop :wink: Costs less than a mobile phone? But...what does a mobile phone cost? Some cost $0 after rebate and whatnot, so they cost anywhere from like 0 - 300, for the average phone. So the keyboard is less than 300, prob more than 150? Eww. I wouldn't buy one for that price!

I wouldn't buy one for that price! $150CAD is approx ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã70GBP which i dont think is bad for a keyboard with all those features. I happen to think it looks pretty cool too. A gaming keyboard i found on ebuyer was ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã35 so thats not too much more for the sweetest looking keyboard ever made :D I think it should have music hotkeys built into it tho like my current one. So i can turn the volume up and down, play and stop, and skips to next or prev tracks. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.
