Optimus Maximus Changing Layouts Demo

Looks like an amazing keyboard with all the programable keys but.........................Wa y to expensive!!!!!!!

I dnt understand why people would spend $800 on buying this keybord. I agree that the funstions r revolutionary and i am impressed, but there are macros on other keyboards that you can use to access programs. Yes, you cannot see the icons, but in my opinion, i dnt see the point of buying this...

I would NOT spend 800 bucks on it, agreed.

But if you've got money to burn, why not?

Once there's more demand and production, the price will be driven down.

I largely agree; it is a neat product. Like most, I can appreciate it on an creative/artistic level. However, it solves a problem that doesn't really exist. *Good typists don't tend to look at the keys* and standard keyboards are functionally more than adequate. So long as this remains expensive, I see owning one more as a statement of ego.

That assumes that you're only using the keyboard to type English text. You can use it to input predictive coding languages like Perl, etc. Also, there's those who want to easily switch between say, Japanese/English keyboard layouts and that. I'm sure there's other uses I can't think of as I don't want one myself. I would imagine this is more for the creative professional than anything else.

I agree the price is steep. But, just because it's not for you, doesn't mean it's useless.

Well, you are missing a very important thing: you can program whatever you want on ANY and every button.

It doesn't matter because nobody wants a nonstandard keyboard layout. It might be funny to swap the "I" and "O" keys on someone for a day, but the joke isn't worth $800.

The same could be said about any new technology. This keyboard is like the iPhone to other phones. Eventually this stuff will become standard, and then people will look back at this keyboard and laugh.

even is not tu functional for me it's really cool! nice gadget!

Well, that probably because the keys weren't like those of a regular keyboard. They were too slippery, from what I heard. But you buy this keyboard because you can make good use of its functions. 175 |*|-|00|2 13375.
