    The Ultimate Gamer's Keyboard

    I can't see any reason to buy the Optimus keyboard, which is why it has suddenly catapulted to the top of the list of crap I absolutely need to own. (Right above digital binoculars and watches that do anything but tell time.)

    The Optimus keyboard features tiny little OLED displays inside each key. So instead of having a letter or whatever printed on the keys, you can have the display show anything you want. While this could be very useful for people who need to switch between languages or makes heavy use of complicated software, it seems like unnecessary luxury for gamers. And, to reiterate, I must have it.

    Primotech did a short Q&A with the Russian designers of this sweet keyboard. The interview puts to rest any fears that this thing may die on the design table. The board, which will work with any operating system, is expected out in about a year and will cost $200 to $300.
