That dope looking optimus keyboard?

It kind of just faded into black and no one spoke of it anymore.

Did they abort making it or something?

Its still in development, they are releasing the Optimus Mini Three first, which uses the same technology.

It's a bit gimmicky

You can do basically what it offers with your current keyboard. Only thing is, we don't have LCD screens in our keys

Yeah its really snazzy and a great gadget to impress your mates with.. But everyday use.. You probably wouldn't actually end up looking at the screen!

..Personally I wouldn't buy one, as you could just buy a keyboard with programmable keys... to run macros/open programs etc..etc.. As with this, except obviously you don't have a cool little screen to display an animation.

As said its a cool 'gimmick'.

That mini 3 looks impressive, but in practice i bet it wouldnt work.

So let me get this straight, is the mini three keyboard simply three shortbut keys with LCD screens in them?
