Optimus Keyboard Pre-Orders In Mere Hours
godzillopiteco sends timely word that Art. Lebedev Studio is finally going to accept pre-orders for the Optimus Maximus Keyboard — in just under 11 hours at the time this story posts, according to the countdown timer on the site. (Late last year we were primed to pre-order in December 2006.) Read the project's blog for some recent developments.
Oh, I'm looking forward to it. I'm not too sure I'll ever own one at $1500, but if they pave the way then knockoffs should be available within another decade.

oops... I take that back... sorry... didn't see the price tag... maybe later.
At that price, I'd expect to get the Optimus *Prime* keyboard, and it better transform into the leader of the Autobots, too!

Well, you can afford to buy http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/vilcus/ :)
Too right, audiophiles and tuners... a market of suckers.
Oh, and I just bought my oxygen free gold dipped hand braided carbon fiber triple analog 186.2 bit digital monster extreme seat covers with pleather inlay...
they added 50hp and 20dB to my civic.
Then the rumors of it being bundled with Duke Nuke em Forever aren't true? Or are they taking preorders for Duke as well?
I'm so pleased about this advance warning, giving me a chance to cogitate on the early stages of beginning to anticipate the eventual opening moments of the new dawn of an opportunity to gear up for a period when, soon, there will be a new, imminent development foreshadowing the approaching onset of the start of my chance to, on a first-come, first-served basis, pre-order this thing.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
an "any key"???
I agree. At $100 I really wanted one, but at $1500 it is going to have to come with a happy ending for me to get one.

Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
Agreed. I have an IBM Model M which features keys that can be removed and switched around to accommodate different keymaps. Once my roommates decided to remap my keyboard to say "FUCK" on the home row. It was weeks before they broke down and finally told me to look at the keyboard.
I don't care if it comes with a "summon the slave girls to come orally satisfy me" button -- if it ain't ergo, it ain't worth it
It doesn't, but you could program it to have one.
Slave girls not included. Slavery maybe illegal in your country
