Title: Countdown to Schild needing a big loan
Post by: Furiously on May 13, 2007, 01:17:04 PM
I think it would be fun to predict the price on this.  I'm guessing $999.

Not as good looking as I imagined. I'd prefer a dinovo or das keyboard. The latter of which I'll get because of teh clicky action.

Heh. Is that going by the number of keys and the cost of the 3 button thing?

The beauty of the thing is they *all* can be F13 keys :-D

If the spacebar was a full OLED instead of a tiny square with black around it... maybe I could see the cost hovering to $1000. Also, every key seems to be a tinier LED inside of black space.

Really, they fucking skimped. Weak.

Looks like a cost-cutting measure, to have uniform sized panels.

Ok, I give up. It's a fucking keyboard. So?

edit: NM. Poked around some more. Neat. Not $1,000 neat, though.

Is this the full and final version? The keyboard's been circulated so much over the last several years, I didn't think it'd ever actually come out.  Last I heard about it someone posted that not all keys could be reassigned, and they'd be black & white rather than color screens.  Apparently that's no longer the case?
