Optimus Maximus Pre-Orders in Four Days
I just received an e-mail from the Lebedevster himself stating that they will be accepting pre-orders for the Optimus Maximus keyboard on May 20th. The original listing price about a year ago was around $300. Now, thanks to our ever-trustworthy (not referenced) friend, Wikipedia, a new number has surfaced: $1564.37. Hmm, seems a tad high to me. Let’s hope that this is not the case.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I’d like to inform you that on May 20, 2007 at 3 p.m. Moscow time we’ll start accepting limited pre-orders for the Optimus Maximus Keyboard.

So, now we sit and wait to see how all of the rich people like them. Per the website, this keyboard should be out later this year. Then again, that would not be the first time I’ve heard that about this product.
