As I write this entry, my fingers are furiously typing away on an ancient keyboard with a multitude of dust bunnies trapped between the keys; there’s even some orange powder (possibly Cheeto dust) between the F and the G.  I suppose it’s time to invest in some Dust-Off.  Maybe I would take more pride in my keyboard if it was an Optimus Maximus.  Every key on this sleek device is an independent display showing its current function.  With the help of “Configurator software” each mini-screen can be easily changed from a traditional layout to any layout that suits your needs.

Art.Lebedev Studio is currently offering the keyboards for pre-order (at just over $1,500 each), with units set to be available in late December/early January.  Apparently, a lot of time and care is needed to craft this delicate keyboard; either that or the Optimus Maximus is busy slaying other gladiator keyboards in the Coliseum.
