Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

No more need to search through the control menu. :)

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

It's... beautiful...
:bows::bows::bows::bows:

Really though, no sane person would fork out US$300 for a keyboard ...

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Yeah you are....huh..right.. http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/15.gif

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

...because muscle memory is so in need of visual help.

Das Keyboard is cooler.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

:lies:

can you program your own keys with little lightup thingys on them?? NO!!!

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Oh welll. I was debating on whether or not to post this same thing, just last week. I figured I'd sit on it a while.

Keyboards have not changed much, in years. Aside for being wireless, that is. It was about time for a revolution. Unlike C38368, I do think that it is the cooler keyboard. Being able to use the same keyboard, for any layout, and any OS.

There was talk about switching the Win key, to a Penguin key, on some Linux forums. I wonder how much programming will be required... :uhm:

I think that is just an old IBM PS/2 keyboard, spray painted black. Then given a name.

Time to dig up some silver paint, and get one that matches my case. :cool:
My typing will sure increase then. Plus, it won't cost $299.99, in fact, I could probably dig one up out of the trash. Nah, nevermind... :rolleyes:

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Could very well be, and if so it makes it even cooler still if it sells. Think about it.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

The das keyboard does look like and old one... but they messed up the pure black experience by labelling it and putting mum/caps/scroll lights on.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Heh... Since I've been rearranging my keys randomly for the last six or seven months, I haven't used a keyboard where looking at the keys would do much of anything for my typing anyway. This Optimus thing seems cool, though. I just wonder what some spilled soda might do to it...

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Nice key board there C bunch of numbers. I could see a person who never typed using that, :lol:.

The led keyboard is the way of the future though, I would like one.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Yeah, Means I could clean up on an old stock, make roughly $60 a piece. After taxes, storage, paint, and discount pricing. $ :deal: $

So cool, it would make my ride cooler (Not to mention my PC.). :cool:

I wonder if they have managed to convert it to a wireless keyboard?...

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

i guess this means no more drinks while your on the computer!

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

you mean you have drinks NOW???

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Now only if the IE button was firefox then it be the best keybored ever!

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

uhh...you can make the IE button into firefox....thats why this keyboard is so cool

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Exactly.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

But the photo is IE and not firefox http://forums.filefront.com/images/s...28frown%29.gif

I want this keyboard

I dont know if it will ever really be produced in the near future (the site says next year, but who knows). It looks awesome though, and I would definitly buy it.

Re: I want this keyboard
 

Bad smiity, bad! This was posted a week back

*spanks*

Still awsome though, useful for Photoshop and RTS games.

Re: I want this keyboard
 

That's a nice keyboard. Mine is pretty good, but I want that one more :p

Re: I want this keyboard
 

oh, well I'll just blame someone else. and merge threads. still, i want it!

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

It has been a week? Wow, time does fly...

I think I might get it for my brother, and then switch it over to a DVORAK layout. He'd really enjoy that. :D

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Neat

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Yup i like logitech optical mouse and key board that 1 looks really cool ...

nice find mate :nodding:

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

o man that is beautiful cant wait to get my hands on it :D

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

*Jaw Dropped**Gazing**speachless*

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

I love how it has both an IE and a Firefox button on it. I know few people who use both on a regular enough basis to want to have hotkeys for both. It is nice to know that both hotkeys will be available though (if that is a default keyset that will be included).

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Meh now I have to add 299.99 to my comp bill :( lol

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

You do know you change it and the hotkey changes?

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

i....need.


that is by far the coolest keyboard i have ever seen.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Yeah, I just think it is cool that they included both in the default keyset (again, if the one they are showing is default), or, more likely, the default icon package which you can choose icons from, because I doubt it will draw icons directly from your desktop. To be able to actively change hotkeys based on what icons are on the desktop would require more resources than most people would want a keyboard (which usually requires next to nothing) to utilize.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

yes, but you can change it to whatever you want!

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

The photo has both, look at the bottom picture.

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

Who gives a crap what set of icons the idiots who took the picture put there? :p
In the interview the guy said they would release SDK software so anyone with basic design skills can edit. Im sure there will be tons of sets avaliable for download after a few weeks/months.

Sweet keyboard nontheless :)

Re: Wow check out this keyboard....It's awesome!
 

would be even nicer if game companies would add this support, so that a lazy ass like me doesn't have to edit things
