Art Lebedev Optimus Maximus Pro Reviews

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

The Optimus Maximus is a brilliant concept. Putting a screen in every single key of a keyboard and allowing it to display whatever you like is a trick that looks really cool and has the potential to be useful. As such we have to applaud Art Lebedev for bringing the product to market. Unfortunately, simply creating a product isn't where the story ends, it also has to be worth buying and here is where the Optimus Maximus falls down. It's astronomical price means it's really only a toy for the very rich.

Digital Trends‘s review Edit

It’s hard to knock a device we wanted to like so badly based on its premise, but there’s no escaping that the Optimus Maximus makes a pretty dismal typing device. As a piece of art and a technological achievement, it certainly deserves credit, but for typing papers, programming, or even just IMing friends, the Optimus Maximus is a complete dud. And with a going price of $1,877.43 USD, “all show and no go” just doesn’t cut it.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

As impressive as we find the Optimus Maximus keyboard in concept, the $1,600 price tag overwhelms its real world benefits. We can only recommend this keyboard to those most charmed by this unique keyboard's novelty.
