Optimus Keyboard

Libra Monkee · Post by **Libra Monkee** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 12:08 pm

Thanks to CeBIT coming up this thing had been the news a lot lately. Again! Apparently now it's slated for release later this year and the keys are going to be interchangeable. Meaning, if and when the little OLEDs start dying you can replace the keys as opposed to spending $1200 on another keyboard.

Do I think this thing is awesome? Hell yeah!!! Will I be dishing out $1200 to get one? Not likely.

didn't the price go up to $1500 for these? I was tempted at $1200, but $1500?

The keyboard is on sale on eBay! Still not paying that much for a keyboard though. The starting bid was $1. At the time of this post it's $1525 and still has 5 days left.
