Oh, wow. I'd never considered a piece of technology 'sexy' before. I guess that's what it's like.

Is beautiful and I'd like it to exist. But you guys do realize that so far it's only some nice drawings by an industrial design company?

That's true ATM but they claim it's going into production: http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/answers/I personally don't like where the Enter key is and sliding the function keys over to the right doesn't help in games that use those keys (can't reach them as easily with my middle finger). |

If this is anything like what I thought up 2 years ago, those buttons will all be customizable and will change depending on the application.
They better sell a god damn cover for it too, since my keyboard is skankcity.

I want.
The blurb says it's fully programmable guys, you want the enter key somewhere else? Move it. The little icons will adjust themselves. You will still have a big ol key over on the side but you can make it a short-cut to goatse or something.

I like their mouse as well. ("mus" is Norwegian for mouse, wonder if that's where it's from?) If these become popular, perhaps MMOGs will start supporting them, e.g. by displaying hotbar icons on the top row or something. (AFTER you fix the loot bug, Blizzard! AFTER!) |

This could be a really cool device with support. Imagine having your ingame mmog hotbar icons actually printed on the keys. Then switching hotbars and having it change those keys, too. That'd be pretty damned cool, and I dislike gadgets, normally.
With a gentle backlighting, I'd be all over this for gaming in the darkened room (I'm not as leet as schild with teh all-black keyboard ;))

Emule.  I like it. Right now I'm using some lamo keyboard that we bought for the PS2 or Xbox or something. I accidentally broke my fancy shmancy keyboard in a tragic grape juice accident. I'll have to find something soon, I think. I've been using this POS for a couple of months and it's driving me crazy mad. Yo. I just can't make up my mind and, for some unearthly silly reason, Righ won't make it up for me.  |

Well, cool until advertisments start coming through it. Push the enter button and buy a coke! |

It is too flat. I need an ergonomic version. I used to hate ergo boards, but after being forced to use one at work for 5 years, there is no way I would ever go back to a flat board.

The cheapo one I'm using now is pretty flat. I've become used to it but I think I would probably prefer something not quite so flat. I really do like the fancy buttons on that Optimus thing, though. It's posh looking.
For Storm: Maybe it's a cry for attention. Us wives... we like that attention stuff. Cuddle us more and your mouse won't accidently fall in the toilet so much.
Don't listen to Shockeye, either... he EXTREMELY grumpy. Heat related.
