Keep an eye on the keys of the Optimus Maximus keyboard. Each key is a small OLED display that can be customized for different functions. Ben LOVES this thing.

cool but useless

[uuuultra]

$1700? In this economy? THEY'RE INSANE!

@thesteamroller

I wouldn't say useless, when you can program every button and change each button to have it's own wording and picture :D

Just not worth the price, considering my computer doesn't even cost that much.

@thesteamroller Not useless.

I mean, multi lingual characters, keys that can display full icons, that can display both Apple and PC keyboard characters, editable keys for easy recognition of hot keys, etc etc.

Yes, it's too expensive for a keyboard, no it's not too expensive for 113 mini oled displays, and you know that it would be great to upgrade a simple keyboard into this !

@uuuultra 1.) it's not american made. 2.) the rig i'm building right now is running me about $6,000. 3.) some people have money falling out of thier ears (which let's the brains seep out) cause i agree, stupid product for over induldging market. buy some stickers for your keyboard if it's that needy!

@AntDX316 but I feel fine

@WhefXLR

LED dont use alot of power unless it has its own power supply then it would kill you pc

[skierplaterandy]

@MrMortjon

your keyboard has backlit leds, this keyboard has litttle led displays on each key.

[Baither]

I agree but the most wierd thing is that actualy some people buy this product well its not even worth the $

[WhefXLR]

First of all, it's connected directly into your computer, so the computer would die first. Second of all, you should always use a power strip with a circuit breaker. Third of all, you can easily remove and replace each of the keys individually.

its the end of the world as we know it!
