Optimus 103 keyboard pricing announced!!

Post by Ransure »

:lol: :lol:

The supposed OLED color customizeable keyboard from Art Lebedev has gone B&W... and damn pricey.... whos gonna get one when they are first released?

Heres the article from Engadget...
For as much feature slashing and resulting public outcry involved in getting this thing out the door for a "reasonable price," it sure didn't amount to much: Art Lebedev just announce its uber-hyped Optimus 103 keyboard will debut in May of 2007 for $1,200. That's twelve hundies, for those keeping track at home, ten times the current price of the Optimus mini three 1.5. Sure, nobody expected this thing to be cheap, but $1,200 might be asking a bit much. Luckily, prices will be dropping to a "mere" sub-grand in September of 2007, and at that rate we'll be able to afford one of these things right around the time that thought-based typing becomes the input method of choice. Well, at least our dreams of keyboard heaven were fun while they lasted. If you're just crazy enough to try it, you can pre-order the keyboard on December 12th.

I had no interest when it was in color with a rumored $300 price. $1200 is just ridiculous.

Didn't the original post/site say it would have only been $100.00?

Lol, 1200$? I would have considered maybe getting one at 150$ or less but no way in hell ill pay 1200$ for a keyboard, unless it got a build-in female giving blowjobs while you play :)

Does the $1200 include the frequent repairs/replacements of busted OLEDs?


What a fucking pointless piece of gimmick hardware.
