Optimus keyboard $1564: Pre-Orders in 3 Days

We are only 3 days away from when the first pre-orders can be taken for the world’s coolest keyboard; the Optimus keyboard will cost $1564 (yes that’s right).

The first production of 200 keyboards is scheduled for Beginning of December 2007 with pre-orders in 3 days, and then the next lot of production for this expensive keyboard is 200 keyboards at the end of December and 400 keyboards in January 2008.

The full features of the Optimus keyboard will be published at Art Lebedev on May 20, 2007 at 3pm Moscow time.
If you’re a gadget fan that loves their keyboards this truly is the ultimate keyboard in style and price, at first in 2006 the Optimus keyboard was only a concept and now is becoming reality but we do wonder how popular it will be.

It will not take much to sell the small production they have and many have been waiting for the Optimus keyboard since the concept stage, so even if you had the $1564 you may not get one for a while.
Every key on the keyboard is a separate miniature LED display which is programmable from your PC, which is a perfect setup for the gaming community or even designers who want to use special keys for Photoshop.

The features this keyboard has is second to none and also match the price tag.
For around $1500 you can get a whole new PC which just shows that a keyboard for that price is a lot, but this is a serous keyboard setup and I believe well worth the money to many people for having backlit OLED displays on 114 individually programmable keys.
