Ready to move around some funds in your accounts? Take out that loan from your mom? Tell your wife you just don't know why the account's a grand light? The Optimus Maximus is up for pre-order for $1564.37. Oh, and it's officially back to 103 keys (that's $15.18 per key)

I can't see the $$$ in that keyboard, it has no coffee button :unsure:

Are you serious?!?! It's ready for pre-order?! FAR OUT!! I've been waiting for this day for ages... Now, if every member of P2L chips in less than a dollar to my donation account, I'll have that keyboard in no time :unsure:

Was begining to wonder if they'd ever release it. Now if they could just lower the price by about a $1000....

Most I've ever paid for a keyboard is $20 if that. Just recently got a new PC and it came with a swanky looking keyboard with 119 keys so why would I pay more for 6 less keys :biggrin:

everyones counting how many keys they have now lol

Holy hell! Well, my keyboard is a standard Microsoft keyboard I bought for £14 from PC World 3 Years ago.. It has sustained many bashes as I have hit it in rage when I lose on Counter-Strike and a bit of tea spilled on it recently.. After a little clean, it's back to it's good old self again.

I would never pay more than £20 for a keyboard! :P

If it ain't broke why fix it? Although it's pretty cool to have a snazy keyboard they all pretty much do the same thing, if it gets me from A-B, no punt intended, I'm happy. I would happily accept one though if it were a gift :P

There is just something wrong with spending more on a keyboard than you did your computer.

1500? $1500? Spending that much on a keyboard with so many useless features is borderline clinically insane! Sure it's nice, but come on...spend your money wisely.

My current keyboard has about 5 hotkeys, wireless, and cost around £20...and you know what? It does the job.

LOL! The might of the Weetabix :). Builders could use that as their morter.
