Optimus Mini Three and Optimus Maximus- What's up?

[QuantumLo0p]

Is anyone using the Optimus Mini Three keyboard?

Has anyone heard any news about the Optimus Maximus keyboard, other than what is on Artemy Lebedev's site? Have they been selling them or are the keyboards still not released as of yet?

I was thinking about the Maximus and how big an impact it made when it was first revealed. I think it is still a very cool idea but when I looked at an image of it recently I could not not help but think the white part of the keyboard is looking a bit dated even though it has not yet shipped. Maybe I am used to the aluminum, sleek, simple elegance of the current Apple keyboards and the like. IMO, besides the cool-as-hell keys the rest of the keyboard is in serious need of some help before they turn it loose.

OLED = sweetness. I think it's cool but $1200 for a keyboard?

$1200? Hah, try almost $1600 http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/9836/

...and yes, if I had the cash, I would definitely buy one.

Apparently it's god-awful to type on. Giz said nigh-on unusable.

I've heard this too, but for someone like me, the average techie who doesn't really code or anything, the cool factor is always going to be there with a product like this.
