If you've been following news of the full-sized
113-keys
Optimus Maximus keyboard with colour OLED screens (10.1mm² large with a
48x48 pixel resolution) located inside each key, you are probably aware of the
bad news that is circulating one of the most revolutionary ideas in keyboard
history. Yeah, it's a bad news again. Artemy Lebedev, chief executive of Art
Lebedev Design studio, has admitted that
mass production of the highly-anticipated device has not yet started, the
design studio has yet to finalize the device, and that there is no driver.
Earlier this year Art Lebedev promised to deliver the first 200 Optimus Maximus
keyboards to customers on December 1st. It is unclear whether Art Lebedev will
be able to deliver working Optimus Maximus keyboards to those who pre-ordered
them for $1564 a piece back in May, 2006.
