Gift Guide: Optimus Maximus

by Jon Chase on November 15, 2008 at 12:01 AM



Optimus Maximus (Gadget Hound, Under $5000)

Quite possibly the closest your deep-pocketed geek will ever get to feeling like they're at the controls of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the Optimus Maximus is the ultimate keyboard, completely customizable to the every whim and pique of its owner. Beneath each key on the keyboard is a tiny color OLED screen that explains its function, and every key is completely re-assignable to whatever function you like, along with whatever letters and icons or images you like. So users could, say, assign the Firefox launch button along the left using its application icon, a password auto-fill button where F3 is, and then engine warp speed 4 where the Start button is?hey, you gotta have dreams.

Price: $1634
