A $1600 keyboard appropriately named “Optimus Maximus”

It’s time for you to take out a bank loan because you are going to need it if you intend to buy this innovative keyboard. Russian designer Art Lebedev has combined technology and artistic design to develop a $1600 keyboard that has an amazing “WOW” factor.

The insanely priced but still desirable “Optimus Maximus” keyboard features a tiny screen on each key for a total of 113 screens in all. Having an OLED screen in each key means the keyboard can dynamically change its display depending on what you’re doing.

For example, hold down SHIFT and all keys go uppercase. Set specific hotkeys depending on what program you are using. Set a key to monitor your CPU usage or display what iTunes track you are currently playing. You can even play videos or animated gif images on a key.

Here is a video showing the Optimus Maximus keyboard in action:
