Optimus mini three shipping!
This post was published 3 years 3 months 27 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.File this under geek gadget lust. The Optimus mini three auxiliary will be shipping for those lucky enough to get their orders in. The pre-release special price of $120 will eventually find its way to $160. If you haven’t had a chance to get your orders in, there is still time!
Optimus mini is an auxiliary keyboard with three keys, each complete with an OLED screen displaying the current function.
The keyboard is placed either horizontally or vertically: the images displayed on the keys are turned using the Optimus Configurator software.
Optimus mini is a blank sheet. It’s hard to say what a usual monitor is worth until you open an image on it. The same goes for Optimus mini: the more plugins that support applications there are for Optimus Configurator, the more indispensable is the keyboard for daily use.
Think of the possibilities. You could hook up your three most used tasks with their own special “button”. Internet, porn, and UNEAYsilence. Ok just kidding.
Hopefully this will give them the money they need so they can create a full-length keyboard like this. Which is what they originally planned to come out with.
I would probably have an UNEASYsilence button. =P
I do remember reading an article on a full keyboard, probably Maximum PC magazine… That would be sweet.
But i already have those buttons on my keyboard, they’re along the top edge.
most “multimedia” keyboards have programmable “media” buttons.
why would i pay $120 for three wired mini monitor buttons?
i agree…why spend so much money on what are basically light-up shortcuts?
because they’re geeky cool and because they can be animated and because YOU KNOW YOU WANT ONE TOO :p
