    I am really shocked to hear that! You're the only person I know who's physically seen one of these items, even the mini keyboard. You got to let me know what it's like.

    From what heard a few months ago, the optimus keyboard isn't going to be sold. I think it's something about copyright infringment.

    Yea I got it, here I'll post a pic (sorry I've been busy with work) I was one of the fist to pre-order it and I got my mini from the first shipment.



    actually the DAS keyboard uses good switches and has a PCB (SHOCK!) same reason my Deck Legend in Toxic Green was $160+shipping (cept the Deck has 1 LED per key backlighting)

    I wouldn't buy one from anywhere but from http://store.artlebedev.com or maybe ebay(for the mini3 only)

    The full keyboard isn't out yet, they are trying to get the cost of the oLED keys down and upgrade the technology before selling the full size. If you see it being sold elsewhere good chance that it is "pre-order" if that webpage, non-artlebedev, ever sells them.

    It's actually been proven that the Das Keyboard is just a Keytronic, which are cheap and amazingly good keyboards. The Das is actually just a all-black model of a specific Keytronic keyboard, however, i forgot which one.

    it would make a sweet case mod. it would be cool to have say "power on linux", "power on windows", "Power on media centre" on each button before it boots.

    and have context sensitive buttons, so say like you turned off your monitor, it might ask say like "hibernate", "shutdown", "standby". and say you were playing counter strike, it might have "primary weapon", "secondary weapon", and "grenade". it would be neat. hard to implement, but very cool.

Since it is getting close to this date I decided to post on here to let the ill-informed know about this one of a kind (sort of TG3 has made similar ones before but not in mass) keyboard that is coming to market. Hope they aren't announcing that they are starting to sell them because I just bought a Deck Legend few months back (best dang keyboard EVER!)

    This reminds me I should review it for you guys. I love the full sized Deck board, it freaking SWEET! I can't wait till I can get my hands on something like Optimus to play with!

    News is supposed to be on front page: http://www.artlebedev.com

    As for cost wise, they are still saying it will not cost more than a new high-end Cell Phone! ($200USD to $400USD)

    Thanks... Interesting information!!!
