You know what you could buy with $200?

Way cooler stuff than a keyboard.


I mean... what kind of new exciting technology justifies that price? LED Lights?



That said, it is neat. I'll wait till someone makes a knockoff for $30

 

This in fact is already a knockoff, from the optimus maximus by art lebedev.

 

Optimus Maximus

Spoiler

$1,500.00

 

that is not the maximus but the popularis... but the hefty price remains :/

 

@fraifikmushi encylopedic....

there must be a giant brain under that fro bro...

 

I was quite impressed looking at the webpage until i got to this bit "with Sonder all your settings are saved automatically to the cloud".

Wtf is it with companies wanting to send everything i do up to their computers. Will the keyboard stop working if i'm offline ?

Fuckwits!

 

But.. the CLOUD.. is soooo safe and reliable ..

Anyway, I'll save the 200 cheese..and just remember my own shortcuts.. as I always have.

 

I could see it being too much of a crutch.

Like, could you imagine someone going to another studio and being like "wtf, your keyboard doesn't have clipart? No no no I can't work like this."

 

nah not really. I just remembered the keyboard from like 10 years ago because I really liked it a lot and then I quickly looked it up :dancing:

 

It is very nice for different languages. But for shortcuts, not so much.
Purpose of a shortcut is to gain time. If i need to LOOK at my keyboard, i loose time. Purpose lost

On the other side, using an additionnal "extension" keyboard (gaming like) and/or a gaming mouse is a lot less expansive, and you can take it with you anywhere.
Like this :


Those fancy keyboards are here for years. And almost nobody get caught, even ppl with enough money to buy them
