We're almost reluctant to post this because it's been promised (and not delivered) for so long. But, with our luck, the Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard will come out on schedule, and we'll be lambasted for not having passed along the news.
"We begin shipping Optimus Maximus keyboards to those who ordered it last year," creator Art Lebedev announced today on its Optimus Project blog. To further show they mean business, according to Gizmodo, the first "Optimus Configurator" software is now available for download, for both the Mac and PC. All hail the most-hyped keyboard in the history of humankind.

Some friends I know have to separate keyboards and some have two sets of characters one keyboard which is ok for my asian friends but the ones that use cyrillic characters (or the greek from which they come from) have about 1/3 characters which are identical to latin, so its a total mess.
I know gamers are gonna like it but I think the language angle is really a lot bigger worldwide.
