    Default $2000 keyboard anyone?



    Art Lebedev Reveals Optimus Successor

    when you are tired of typing....just watch a movie....on the keyboard of course.....

    Dubbed the 'Optimus Tactus', it is a prototyped touch screen keyboard with unlimited customisability that leaves the Maximus looking a little Minimus.
    Despite revealing virtually no hard facts whatsoever, Lebedev simply states the Tactus "does not have physical keys, which means there are no restrictions on their shape and size. Any part of the keyboard surface can be programmed to perform any function or to display any images."


    Strangely, Lebedev neglects to mention video is also within its remit too as the design studio demonstrates this feat with a classic snippet from Russiantastic faux-lesbian-brief-supergroup Tatu's schoolgirl-alicious "All the things she said" music video. Less titillating, but arguably more useful however are the top right shortcuts to quickly change language layouts and formatting.

    the author recommends using the tech in laptops cause of the benefits... saving costs? The thing cost 2000 in itself. I would love one still... i like the tactile sensation of my keys but that board too good.

    To me, it's silly and waste of money to buy one.
    Isn't it a marvelous thing? The mystery of the mind?

    I need tactile feedback...can't deal with touch surfaces for typing and even phone.
    The trouble with learning from experience
    is that the test comes first and
    the lesson afterwards

    I would prefer getting a laptop for 2k instead.

    We will have to wait until the price drop fast....

    I like the concept and where they are heading with this kind of technology but I don't think it's really worth $2000. Any day my keyboard cost anywhere close to my PC I need to have my head checked out.
