The two USB slots in the back of the keyboard are awesome and extremely useful.

Apple is more functional. Go figure.

Sweet keyboard, though. Logitech is where it's at.

An Optimus?

70 bucks.

The Optimus Maximus Keyboard, surely you've heard of it. Each of its buttons is a little screen that changes what's on it according to whatever program the computer is in.



It's, like, 2000 bucks and it's drawn some harsh criticism, but it does sound cool.

Someone that thinks $2000 for an iffy technology like buttons with screens in them is kind of silly.

That's pretty fucking awesome.  I'd totally get that next if it wasn't $2000.
However, for the time being, this new G11 does a good job

There are also lower-end models like the Tactus, where the keyboard is just a giant touch display:



The Optimus Pultius, which is a numpad version:



And a few others. They're really serious about it.

Those are really really cool and I hope they expand upon that.
I like the idea of a giant display keyboard.  If they really utilized that and expanded it it could have a million functionalities and be the next best thing since sliced bread.

I heard Apple might be releasing their own version of the screenboard with their next iMac. Maybe they'll do it properly.

... but that's still a lot for a keyboard But I really dig the screens.

Man, I only use a semi new kayboard that I bought from a flea market for 5 bucks

hello keyboard

If only they still made G15s. My brother has one and it's awesome

Why don't US keyboards have AltGr keys? That never made sense to me.
