New Photos Emerge of the Optimus Aux Keyboard

If there's one company that understands how to hype up a product, it's Art Lebedev Studios, the company responsible for the Optimus Maximus. Oft delayed to the point of being considered vaporware, the OLED keyboard finally saw the light of day after laying not so low for nearly 3 years, and now you can pick one up for just shy of $2,000.

This time around it's the Optimus Aux that's being pimped to the press with new product shots emerging. Formerly known as the Pultius, the renamed Aux is a numeric keypad designed with the same OLED DNA as the Maximus. According to the company's blog, the key rows have been moved closer together in this newest revision (fifteen keys in all), and it now looks to ship with two downstream USB ports instead of one. There's also an upstream USB port, a Kensigton lock hole, and a power socket.

No word on price or availability, but if the past is any indication, expect it to be expensive and delayed.

This thing reminds me of that $1000 dollar Iphone program called I'm rich. This thing really doesn't appear to have anything that would improve my gaming capabilities and I think I can live without this forever. Doesn't seam to be anything that would improve the performance of my system or add functionality that I don't already have.

They will probably sell six or seven of them and have to refund a couple of them.
