Art Lebedev Readies $1,000 'Bargain' Keyboard With Screens for Keys

As you could guess from the name, the Popularis carries a much lower price point, though we'd hardly describe the vague "less than $1,000" tag as cheap. The whole design is more svelte than its predecessor. The right-hand number pad and left-hand shortcut keys have been ditched and the overall key size has shrunk. Oddly, even though the size of the keys is smaller, the size of the embedded displays are larger, thanks to thinner frames. The nicest touch, though, is the widget bar that lives between the function keys and number row, and that's used to display everything from system stats to new e-mails. On a blogger's salary, it's hard to justify dropping a grand on a keyboard, but that won't stop us from blindly lusting after it. [From: Optimus Project, via: PopSci]
