Sub-$800, One-Screen and Raised Keys

Apparently, when Jesus called Art.Lebedev’s Optimus Tactus keyboard “Optimus Retardus” for its lack of physical keys, the design team listened. Or not. Either way, Lebedev’s latest plan is to indeed make a visual keyboard with just one full-color screen as opposed to many tiny ones. But it will overlay physical transparent keys (like on the Upravlator). In the end, you’d actually have a hard time noticing that each key isn’t its own display. The goal is to get this thing into production by year’s end, and to sell it for under $800%26mdash;a bargain by Art.Lebedev standards. Later, the dudes will move to E-Ink or e-paper for lighter, wireless keyboards.

Thanks: [Optimus Project]
