Turned out to be not as good as it first seemed but it was fun while the hype lasted

If one wanted to find a video review of that keyboard it would likely be searchable under "Optimus Maximus Keyboard review (Cherry ML)".

Spoiler

I can't link the video as it contains inventive language...

It was never a great keyboard, BUT...

Considering THIS was made in 2004 and it took how long for the Elgatto Stream deck, it was a good attempt.

Was 2008 before it actually shipped IIRC.

Kids of today talk about "hype".

This thing was towing some HUGE hype train behind it, probably 5 years?
