I am all about compact, but I need a few more than three buttons.

So I could watch three porn flics simultaneously while working on my main screen?
Hummm... interesting.
Typing on blues.

Yeah, on screens the size of keycaps.  Lame.

I interpreted his meaning to be closer to "Interactive porn" with pictures of certain "parts" and corresponding instructions of "touch me here, okay now faster, harder..." etc.

I think, sadly, it would sell like hotcakes.

If that's the case, it would better if it had analog switches.  I prefer the real thing, though, thanks.

Agreed, and either Rip isn't getting any to have thought of this, or he is just a shrewd innovator who knows how to make the bucks.

I would go with the latter, but with all the time he spends on GeekHack, it makes me wonder sometimes.

Basically this thread tells me that Optimus keyboards are useless except in porn applications.

The listing says you can use it as an RSS reader.  Intriguing.  I feel like it would be a good way to punish my eyeballs to try to read the news off that thing.  

And as for the porn thing, I think it would be quite useful, but I'd rather use all three screens for bananadance .gifs.  I would display it prominently beside my monitor and just weird the hell out of anyone that dares enter my office.
