Holy... wow.

This is a good thing.

I've got one of those. They do rock.

That looks awesome as... well, anything. The only problem is that it looks both expensive and easily breakable. Although it would probably be really useful when playing any computer game for the first time.

EDIT: Major Blood... what?

He probably means the miniature 3-key version, which already exists.

That or he's a lying bastard.

Anywho, yeah, this thing would be awesome if you could set each key's display yourself and not have to choose between pre-made icons. As in you could draw something in paint and put it on one of the keys. That would rock

There's no way you could possibly have one of those keyboards, Major. According to this, they're still in production. The Optimus Mini is available for pre-order, though. US $100 until April 2, then the price will rise. ]That's what the answers say.

What's the price of a good mobile phone? Because apparently, the keyboard will be cheaper than that. o_O

Edit: Catlover, if customs are possible on the mini, they should be possible on the keyboard as well.

I've been eyeing this since digg had a post on it months back...when I heard on TWiT or something like that that it was real, I was overjoyed.

Donno if I could afford, but it's a wonderful concept. I'd use it over a reg-keyboard in a heartbeat.

Especially because most of us have memorized where the keys on the keyboard are. Don't need letters anymore XD When I mess up, I backspace out of habit. Sometimes I backspace even when I don't mess up. It's kind of funny.

Yeah, I want one. :sweatdrop

I'm just thinking of all the cool things I could do with it.

Warcraft...

Making a use for those damn useless keys... (scroll lock anyone? How about pause break? And that fucking key next to the right windows key. WHO USES THAT THING)

Faster mIRC-scripty-stuff...



Yeah. Keyboard o' pwnage

I just did, i'm doing it again, who can stop me?, but seriously looks cool. I bet it costs more than my soul. (Do you know how much i got for it?)

They say that this keyboard will cost less than a good cell phone.


By good they probably mean web-surfing cameraphone, but meh.
