I love the idea of the Optimus Maximus keyboard. Especially if it would change the display on the keys much like the on-screen keyboard viewer does when the Shift and Option keys are pressed. But ~$500 for a keyboard ... maybe after next tax return.  |

I have a set of TDK speakers that use similar NXT flat panels and have a small sub... and they sound amazing (mine are 2x 7w though).

I like the Tactus and the Sonicum speaker set, both look nice.
And who's Artemy Lebedev?

Those speakers. They look so cool.
I also like the clock. So natural.

Atomic on these forums is the distributor for the Maximus, if you want one. I believe he's posted elsewhere about the keyboard.

That keyboard is pure Star Trek, even more so than the iPhone.

Did you realise that $500 only gets you a keyboard with the space bar display only?
It actually costs around $1600 to have one with screens in all the keys.
And yes, the keys do update when modifier keys are pressed. |

Love, love, love all the designs that come from Artemy Lebedev.
Maybe one day I'll get the alarm clock to replace my current one.

There's an Optimus Maximus for Buy it now @ $1999 on eBay at the moment.
I've wanted that alarm clock for a while now and have been contimplating getting the Optimus Mini for a while now but can't justify it yet.
