FFS why do people keep saying this thing isn't mechanical?

It uses Cherry MLs. Mechanical.

Heh.I hope nobody has bought one here. I believe it is rubber domes IIRC.

Edit: I stand corrected, ML's. IMO not the best switch.

I think those clear plastic boxes over the keys look very awkward to type on... Also, I've seen videos, and the flicker on those screens would annoy me very quickly. I think I've heard they are 12 FPS.

I love the concept, though, and I hope people continue to improve the design both in performance and in cost. Maybe the upcoming OLED TVs will drive that.

i don't think you understand what 12 fps means with regard to lcd panels.

This is the chrome-bodied Porsche Cayenne of computer keyboards.

Has West Coast Customs put one in the back of an Escalade yet?

i wish i could think of a use for the LCDs, but my hands would just cover them all day anyways...

the flicker is just from the camera. you'd get the same effect on a video of your computer setup.

I am a little confused about Ripster's post.

"Cost savings" does not seem to be high on their design specifications.

And nobody has yet answered my question:

Has any member of this forum ever owned one of these?

Or even used one with his own fingers?

I don't see the need for any screen on a keyboard especially at 10fps for a color oled screen. I always like new ideas though. I think it's pretty awesome. I personally wouldn't buy it even if I had the money though.

I recall someone selling a used 6-key model in the classifieds.... so yes, someone here has used at least 1 model of Optimus.

I'd get it to show off all my WoW keybinds. Well infact I'd have the keybinds for all my games have nice icons. Tho It's probably much much much much cooler to get a keyboard for each game and purdy doubleshot/WASD keycaps on them!

why are there so many threads about the optimus keyboardsa lately?
and all threads suck. this thread isn't even avoidable because of the sucky title which has no connection to the content at all.

Rant not.

I added lots of pics and  info to both the Cherry Switch Wiki and the All About Scissors wiki.

In other words get used to it.  "Ripster's Downwardly Mobile Theorem - DMT" and Ripsters Theory Of Forum Wikis (RTFW).

"For Noppoo questions look under NOPOO:"

That is awesome.
