Optimus keyboard may launch soon

***Corey*** · 01-09-2006, 05:25 PM

This keyboard has received so much hype in the last year, kind of like Half Life 2 did for so many months before it came out.

Looks like it may be launching very soon now.

Interesting. Neat idea, nice to have a customizable keyboard for different applications.

That is cool! First time I've seen it too. I'm surprised nobody's thought of this before. How much?

This is very neat, if it's not too expensive, I'll look into getting one. I hope it's comfortable to use!

Supposedly, it'll cost less than a good cell phone. We shall see come Feb.

That's actually something new and original. Hadn't seen it before either.

I personally like the Microsoft Natural Keyboards. Have been using it since they came out, never went back. They are only good if you type with all 10 fingers.

When a Natural Keyboard comes out in the above fashion, I would really be interested.

Price is estimated at $200USD, and will be available this summer. Hopefully the price will drop as the newness factor wears off.
