Say Hello to The New Optimus Popularis Keyboard


Designer Art Lebedev has revealed the upcoming successor to the ever popular Optimus Maximus keyboard, called the Optimus Popularis. Each key can display a different image, because they are laid over an LCD screen. Their old Maximus keyboard featured an OLED in each key.

The new one features transparent keys laid over a single screen. The use of a single screen, as opposed to the use of a screen in each key should significantly lower production costs, thus lowering the price too.

The keys on the keyboard are supposed to be similar to the feeling of typing on a Mac.

Not much more information has been released about this keyboard, but we’ll keep you posted. Grab our RSS feed to stay up to date.

    I'm sure the cost will feel like typing on a Mac too :P
  • Saw the review of this on G4 TV - the amount of time that has gone into the engineering, testing and design of this device is unreal.

    (It is also reflected in the price....)
