Optimus Maximus Goes (Barely) Affordable

Though the prices will still be way outside the realm of possibility for most enthusiasts, Art Lebedev Studios – the makers of the incredible eye-popping $1564 Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard – recently announced that flavors of the Optimus Maximus will become available with fewer OLED keys.

An Optimus Maximus with 47 active OLED keys will still run you a cool thousand bucks, while one with only 10 programmable OLED keys will set you back $600. A third variation with only an OLED space bar will also be available, for the odd figure of $462. Though I’m inclined to wonder what use a keyboard with a programmable space bar would be.

Starting February 20th, 2008, Art Lebedev comes true to his word with new 1, 10, and 47 programmable OLED key configurations for $462, $599, $999, respectively. How (almost) practical.
