Optimus OLED Keyboard in The Wild

This image has popped on the web and shows the first image (to my knowledge) of the much hyped Optimus Maximus Keyboard designed by Art. Lebedev Studio in Russia.

If you’re have followed the saga, the Optimus keyboard is unique in that each key is made of an organic LED (OLED) display that can be software-configured to adapt to any language and any applications. The idea appeared in 2005, and had episodic drama like rumors of going monochrome or imminent shipping date.

It is expensive: $1564 (1256Euros).
