Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping 309

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the true-sticker-shock dept.
Tom's Hardware is reporting that the Optimus keyboard that everyone was so anxious for (although maybe less so when they saw the price tag) started shipping this week. "According to an announcement made on the Optimus project blog, keyboards are now shipping to customers who pre-ordered the $1564 keyboard nine months ago. Keyboards with passive keys are delayed and will be shipping in about a month, the manufacturer said. [...] Earlier this month, one of the first Optimus Maximus keyboards was sold for $2750 on Ebay." Engadget even got the chance to test one of these expensive toys out.

        I'm also glad to see that keyboard technology is still evolving, but I'm not sure Optimus is the right direction. Instead of an extremely expensive new keyboard that needs lots and lots of delicate tech and will slow down my workflow, I wouldn't mind having a little less hardware sitting under my fingers. Button-pushing seems to me to be so 20th century.

          You mean something like TouchStream [fingerworks.com] from Finger Works [fingerworks.com]? This [fingerworks.com] is just a sample of the input commands for text editing.

          Apple bought them and incorporated their tech into the iPhone, iTouch, & MacBook Air. I suspect 2 finger scrolling and right click on the Intel laptops also came out of this.

          You can find iGestures on eBay, but they're fetching a pretty penny last time I checked. They even have a macro editor and such so you can assign any finger gesture to almost anything.

          For someone with a musical background, who may have the subtlety of touch required, that would be fine. I personally prefer something a bit less responsive, as I have a tendency to slide my fingers across the keyboard which leads to a lot of typos on more responsive keyboards.

          If I'm doing a lot of typing I prefer a heavier keyboard; I find accuracy and action of the keyboard more than compensate for the increased "work" of typing.

        Having resistance and click-points on a keyboard was very helpful. When typing on such a keyboard I would never bottom out the key, thus expending extra force.

        When using modern clickless (and mushy) keyboards I often find myself 'bashing' keys harder the faster I type. It has something to do with the lack of tactile feedback while touch typing.

One issue is if the keys are dynamic (they change function) then in order for the user to recognize the function of the key, the user has to look at his keyboard. Many typists no longer look at the keyboard when they're typing and even if they do, they don't "hunt" for keys.

      I was going to say that those would be horrible for touch-typing. Then I remembered the review saying that it's actually horrible for doing proper typing on anyway, so you're probably right.

      If the intended use was sporadic keypresses (a la Photoshop shortcuts), then a multi-touch display (*) *is* probably just as good. So although this keyboard is cool-looking and all that, ultimately it's going to do better at being a "real" usable keyboard, or it's just going to be an overpriced piggy in the middle.

    From the Engadget article:

    Okay, why does typing on the Optimus suck, you ask? Well, although the keyboard uses mechanical switches and a lot of high quality components (evident when we pulled off some keys), and there is some clicky tactility to keypresses, as a whole it just requires way too much force to depress keys. And the larger the key, the more force is required, so enter is easier than space, but harder than tab. Let's put it this way, we sit around and type all day long and this thing wore us out in about 30 seconds to a minute. Carpal sufferers, beware.

    So, the keyboard is painfully inadequate at doing the one thing keyboards are suppodes to be doing: data input. Kinda like a solid gold mouse that won't track, or a 80-inch monitor that won't display better than 800x600. Pretty pointless.

      I know a WHOLE LOT of hunt-and-peck typists. Doesn't everybody?

      The idea of having a customizable display on each key is a sound one. A modern keyboard has five or six different shift keys, but at most two or three different glyphs on each keycap. A user can only discover other keyboard behaviors from cues provided away from the keyboard (looking at shortcut hints in menus, RTFM, etc.).

      But if the stuff printed on each key changed when you press the Ctrl key? The user will be exposed to so much more functionality! And that's not even mentioning Function keys, or modal software (like vi), or...

      The decisions to use high-resolution full color OLEDs on each key, and require a external power source beyond USB's +5v, and cost twice as much as the computer it's hooked up to, and to make it suck at being a keyboard are all less defensible.

      If they had made a keyboard that felt like a typical $20 OEM keyboard but had a 16x16 monochromatic LCD built into each key, and cost $100, I'd own one for each computer I use regularly.

    PITTSBURGH - Bill Gates predicts people will interact more and more with computers using speech or touch screens rather than keyboards.
    • And we all know how his predictions pan out. "640k ought to be enough to be enough memory for anybody" "I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time." "Spam will be a thing of the past in two years' time." etc etc etc

      and I predict people will start interacting with their TVs by having more ways to view movies.

      No Shit. Sadly, Gates is often late to the table, sitting at the wrong table and ends up realing on Contact and bullying instead of quality.

      How will they do it? I suspect it will be predictive computing. Something the will be awrward at first, but the more you use the system the better it gets.

    Am I seeing this properly? Are the hot keys in the second column in the engadget article as follows?

    Firefox, Youtube link, Lesbian porn link!?

      It looks like the TATU girls (russian pop, one red-head, one black-haired - and definitely hitting some lesbian notes in their videos and CD covers), although I can't find a cover that looks like that [amazon.com] - maybe it's for the musicplayer, displaying the cover of the currently playing song.
  • Hey, if the tech industry keeps this kind of thing up, we might see a demo of Duke Nukem forever soon!
  • But seriously, I don't look at my keyboard. When I was but a wee tyke I took typing class and haven't looked down since. While I can appreciate the novelty of having it, how often does anyone look at their keyboard long enough to appreciate this while actually doing work? Is there something I'm just not getting here?
  • When I first saw this keyboard about a year ago (I think) I thought it was extremely cool and wanted one myself. Now I look at it and wonder "what's the point?"

    Obviously it'll get most use out of games where re-mapping keys is essential. But how often do you look at your keyboard while playing a game? I know I never do. I memorize the mapping.

    Maybe the keyboard would make it easy to switch to different mapping sets.. but I'm sure there's software that will do the same thing, and not cost $1800.
  • Now we actually CAN download keyboard drivers!
