The Optimus Maximus keyboard is insane. Every key is a separate OLED screen with a resolution of 48×48 pixels. This means that you can program your own fonts, reconfigure the letter order on your keyboard (my Dad could stop whining that keyboards have a QWERTY configuration instead of alphabetical), change the colors of your keys (I see ugly flashing rainbow keyboards coming to an office near me in the future), or even play games like Minesweeper using your keyboard as a gaming surface. This concept has a lot of possibilities, and I’ll definitely buy one once the price drops down from $1500, which with the drastic decreases in OLED prices we’ve seen in the last year or so, shouldn’t take too long.
