Optimus Maximus Keyboard let’s you customize your keys for $1,564
The new Optimus Maximus Keyboard is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in a keyboard. Instead of keys with letters printed on them, each key on this keyboard features tiny 48×48 pixel OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays. The keys can be customized, rearranged and colored however you please.
May not seem like a great idea right off but this could be quite useful. You can change the keys to read better for FPS games like Quake 3. You can customize keys to have letters in different languages and even have keys be shortcuts to your favorite programs. The keys can also be updated depending on the application. For example, in the picture you’ll notice the GMail key actually shows you that you have 9 messages waiting for you!
The current price is $1,564 (Shakespeare’s birthyear) as this is very new and expensive technology.
