$1600 Uber-Keyboard @ ThinkGeek (Linkage + YouTubage)

Here's pretty much the Ultimate Keyboard for geeks world-wide! It's the Optimus Maximus Keyboard. The keyboard that has 113 mini screens (1 for each key) that you can customize practically any way you like & for practically every application you use! It'll even place the keys in upper case as well as the numbers to their appropriate symbols when you hit the shift key!

It includes an SD card slot to save your configurations as well as 2 USB 2.0 slots on the top.

The downside is that it comes in at a Bankrupting Price of around $1,600 (including a fair shipping estimate), but with a keyboard this awesome... most will be willing to pay it. Unfortunately, it won't be back in stock until June 11th.

How big an SD card do you NEED to save those settings...

A cheap 1 GB SD card would probably work, but it ultimately depends on how much customization you do with the keyboard.

If you left most of the letters at their defaults yeah, it probably wouldn't take too much. However, on the other hand, a hardcore MMO player that wanted to make each key appear with the icon of the ability they've mapped to it... :lol:

TBH though, I can't imagine too many people wanting to drop $1600 on a toy . . . I mean it has its uses, but for that price, there's far more efficient alternatives to any of them.

Of course, if you rig your PC to accept two keyboards for input...
