If everyone thought that the Optimus Keyboard is looking to empty out your wallet, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Stealth Computer Corporation is offering a stainless steel, 80′s looking keyboard for the staggering price of $1195.00.
Minus the nuclear warhead resistant casing, I fail to see any specification the keyboard offers that would make it slightly worth it’s excessive price tag. Can anyone else spot the thousand dollar feature?
It’s got a WIN key!
Its NEMA 4x which means it could be used on the deck of a lets say crabbing ship in the winter artic. Says that icing over will not harm it. Nor will sand and such things seems to be an industrial grade keyboard for extreme conditions, I wonder if it is PRON Proof ewww.
ew dude… that’s just nasty. But since your keyboard handles it fine *wink wink* I’m pretty sure this one could handle much worse.
You would be suprised how many rich people say “Get me the best there is.” So you buy them that and tell them it cost a grand and they are happy.
I bet the U.S. military has bought hundreds of them.

100% yea that’s why it’s $1k and it’s pretty much indestructable
It shows a display in the buttons of it for what programs you are useing dude!
on the left hand side there are like shortcut keyes to switch between programs.
When you play WoW it will show the move keys and the space bar will Say jump on it….Wow absolutly amazing keyboard.

That Optimus keyboard looks kick @$$!
Maybe it has the Easy button.
Yeah, this is not a consumer keyboard. This is an industrial keyboard intended for extremely harsh environments where other keyboards will crap out.
The thousand dollar feature is the asshole with the credit card in his hand
Only the stupid may buy.
It is woth a thousand dollars because of its crime-deterrent feature. Carry that puppy around with you, and any mugger that tries to take your wallet is going to get one hell of a nasty keyboard pounding.
Either that, or you will get your ass kicked for carrying around a keyboard, and then get your ass shot for telling someone it cost $1195.
Obviously the $1000 feature is the cable. A full 10 feet!
I agree, this is a keyboard built for extreme conditions. You could probably dump it overboard a ship, find it a year later, and it will still run for another 500 years.
