Coolest keyboard ever?

This is spreading through the web like wildfire. Looks good to me. If it was around the $200 mark, I'd buy it, but no higher.

[DarkSynergy]

I have seen that before in articles but would love to play around with one in person. I read earlier today that the bare minimun that it will retail for would be between 200 and 300 US. It would be cool to have though.....why you ask? Just to say we have one, thats why!

[madstork91]

you know those pictures of keyboards with things like "lol" and "lmfao" keys?

[Will Nave]

That makes my naughty parts tingle...

[Serry]

That would sweet to have, but unfortunately the keyboard itself looks painful as hell to type on for long periods of time. ^_^

[Kilamon]

I'd still stick with my cordless logitech until this keyboard becomes wireless. I am too short on desk space and too used to using my lap for a keyboard holder.

[Rob Williams]

Nice to see you around man :D

[Kilamon]

Nice to see you around man :D
yeah, this board is really slow so I don't check it often. Sorry. :( Go find me at the DFI-street board.

[Rob Williams]

Oh, it is slow. That's why we need to pick it up :D

I love the DFI-Street forum, I'm there as Deathspawner.

[Mike AC Ryan]

WTB this thing!!

More and more of these sweet programmable/LCD keyboards are coming out.... Soon we won't need any anymore b/c of mindcontroll stuff :P.

[Blumen]

Screw that crap.

BUY THIS INSTEAD. (http://www.xoxide.com/das-keyboard.html)

haha never seen that before! Still not as cool as the lcd one :)

[Word.]

Optimus keyboard does look every cool, but can it adjust to any game you play? Or is it just for certain ones? Can you put anything on anykey? Id love to have it and screw around for a bit., But it does look like shit!

[Rob Williams]

It would be cool if it wasn't so hardcore ugly.

[madmat]

It's coming out next month!!!11

[maddmaxx]

That is cool but I'll have to stick with my Deck for now. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/maddmaxx1/deck_ice_large.jpg

[Rob Williams]

Man, I'm so jealous of your deck.

[Kilamon]

just found out last week that the lebedev keyboard is wireless too.

[madmat]

Man, I'm so jealous of your deck.

Keyboard envy? ;)

[Rob Williams]

Kinda. His Deck is smaller than mine though, so I can be happy with that.

[maddmaxx]

Smaller but cooler. Plus mine looks better in the dark. Wait. Everybody's looks better in the dark.Heh.

I like Saitek keyboards the most. Slick looking with glowing keypads.

[Sledgehammer70]

I read about that Keyboard awhile ago. It is pretty hardcore for any normal keyboard, but what comes to mind is tons of crazy images laid out over the keys. I deas spring to mind left and right.

[zachig]

WOW :eek: That's an absolutely amazing keyboard. I wish I'll be able to afford one when it will be available, but probably I won't as $200 (being optimistic) is a lot of money for a keyboard, altough this one really deserves that price tag. ;)

[sbrehm72255]

Been reading about these for sometime now, but the price being talked about is way to high for my budget. I'll have to stick with my cheap old Sunbeam KB for the time being.................;)

[zachig]

You still got a pretty nice cheapo keyboard, bio ;) , lightening in the dark, that's cool. :D

[sbrehm72255]

It works great for me and the price was right.................;)

[BLuKnight]

I remember seeing this on digg.com. I wouldn't mind having one. The possibilities are limitless. Imagine a screensaver keyboard! Have words and pictures scroll across. It's neat stuff all around.

[spiffyp]

You can put anything you want on the keys of the Optimus.
All the keys are OLED's & fully programable (picture & function) from software.
They just released a 6-key version for ~$100.

Very sweet, but oh, the cost! ;)

[maddmaxx]

I like the Deck.http://www.deckkeyboards.com/techspecs.php

[BlindMonk]

I want a keyboard which doesn't klickety-klackity when I type. I want a gentle, reassuring swishing sound, like a gurgling brook in spring time, as the snows melt. And I want the lighted keys to change ever-so-gradually in color to suit the exotic Zen flute which plays for me during my evening CoD-rifles-only meditation.

I *sooooo* want one of these.... expressly for hte fact that I know they use LED's for their back light... which means I can MOD it to color change the backlight to my liking!

I'm contemplating getting one for BOSS and changing the LED's to orange backlight...
;)

[madscientist327]

I want one of those also! :(

[madstork91]

looks alright guys, but for now im happy with my multifuntional wireless :)

Screw led lights, i can take this thing to the kitchen and chance my songs! Not to mention with the screen i have i could IM from that far too.

Look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823126179

That is my dream keyboard. Going to try to save up some money to buy one.

A friend of mine owns that exact keyboard. It has a small problem. The ink on the keys is spray-painted on, and after a few months of heavy gaming use it starts to wear off. Looks pretty bad once the inks starts to rub off.

[Jakal]

I'll stick to my Logitech Elite. It's got all I need, media control, hotkeys etc. That G15 looks like a monster, something I don't plan on ever needing lol.

[CoolZone]

i currently have a Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard and it's quality is very good...it came with a Microsoft Mouse too(optical)

[dibene]

Hmmm. I'd like to see that configured for Premier!

[Angela Miller]

My keyboard is boring. I just use a Microsoft Internet Keyboard. It works good so I can't complain.

[Worldstar]

I doubt Microsoft keyboards will last that long. Microsoft isn't known for high quality construction.

Anybody here try using the Zboard? It is a gaming keyboard that has a replacemable key matrix. You remove the top piece and lay down another key matrix. The keys are preset for various games.

I know someone who has one. They charge a lot of money for the keysets for that keyboard.

[dibene]

Hmmm. What's a lil more debt?

Get a programmable keyboard, therefore you can program any setup you like and not have to pay someone for pre-programmed keyboard layouts.

[GeekGirl]

Ok I'm sorry, I have to trump all of you at once.

THIS IS THE BEST KEYBOARD....
