Optimus Maximus keyboard!!! *SPOOGE*

Since it was first reported to exist, like, a MILLION years ago, the Optimus keyboard is finally going to see the light of day. There's a count-down timer on Art.Lebe.Dev that shows when they're going to start accepting pre-orders for this magnificent piece of technology.

Don't know what I'm so excited over? How about a keyboard with a tiny LCD screen for each key. Oh, and did I mention that you can program those keys to change when appropriate? For instance, when working in Photoshop, the "alphabet" keys turn into pictures of the tools that are bound to each hotkey. And when playing Quake, the ASDW keys turn into arrow keys, indicating that they're used for movement. Plus, there are ten (10) fully programmable keys to the left of the actual keyboard. Those can be used as launch keys for programs, or you can use them as 10 more bindable keys. Awesome, right?
