Re: the best keyboard ever.

I think it's a nice addition, as long as it's not overpriced. The fact that u can change the layout for every program is a very cool option IMO.

Frequently Answered Answers about the Optimus keyboard It's in initial stage of production We hope it will be released in 2006 It will cost less than a good mobile phone It will be real It will be OS-independent (at least it can work in some default state with any OS) It will support any language or layout Moscow is the capital of Russia Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available Some day it will be split ('ergonomic') It will most likely use OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow) Our studio is located two blocks from the Kremlin It will feature a key-saver Keys will use animation when needed It has numeric keypad because we love it There's no snow in Moscow during Summer It will be available worldwide (why not?) OEM will be possible (why not?) Contact us for hi-res images, or interview inquires

We want to thank everyone for the support. Stay tuned for our next projects

i wonder if this keyboard will take up a lot of system resourses from your pc

Re: the best keyboard ever.

Hope not...I think it's kickass either for gamers or people working with heavy programs that could use a lot of hotkeys to speed up you work...
