tja bleibt die farge ob diese tastatur, die immerhin ‘nurnoch’ 371,40€ [im gegensatz zu den 1200€ die es am anfang kosten sollte] kostet ihr geld auch wert ist.
ich prsönlich würde ja nichts dagegen haben sie mal auszuprobieren, auch wenn ich sicherlich nicht alle funktionen nutzen könnte…
How does it work? There’s a small display embedded under every keytop, which shows whatthis button can do, or thefunction it’s associated with.
You are a genius. Thanks.
Can I changethe images myself? You bet.
Can I reassignthe buttons’functions? You bet. For example, you can havethe buttonto the right of the left Shift keytotypethe letter Z, or totype any sequence of up to 256 symbols.Customization has no limits.
Which languages are supported? Optimus supports all languages supported by the operating system.
Which operating systems doesOptimus support? Optimus supports all operating systems, but we first develop software onlyforWindows and Mac.
Why isn’t there any Linux software? Becausefirst we wantto let 95% of peopleto work withthe keyboard.
Is there a chance it will support Linux? Maybe sometime.
Can I updatethefirmware myself? Yes, you can.
What happens if I spill coffee, coke or wine on the keyboard? The keyboard will likely break down. Just as a laptop, a TV or the Imperial StateCrown in a similar situation.
What should I do if the keyboard is grimy? You can manually remove every key and clean or vacuum-cleanthe body.
Arethere any buttons without displays? In thefuture we are planningto offer keyboards where some buttons will have no displays(passivetype). So you will be ableto replacethese buttons withthose with displays.
How doestyping feel? Tactile sensations are good: we use mechanical micro-keyswitches with a keytravel of 2.5 mm.The activationforce is, if you are interested, 50 ± 20 g.
Your images are so great. How bright arethe screens in life? In lifethe screens look a hundredtimes betterthan in the images.You can seethe images on the displays very well even if the room is brightly lit.
How long does a screen live? Non-stop glowtime at nominal brightness declared by the manufacturer is 20,000 hours. If you workfor eight hours every day, including weekends and holidays,the screens will lastfor about seven years. Afterthat,the display will not die instantly, but beginto fade gradually(likethe sun in billions of years).
What doesthe ambient light sensor do? The ambient light sensor allowsfor havingthe displays’ brightness automatically adjusted up or down depending on whether it’s getting dark or light. Additionally, you can adjust brightness manually. Automatic or manual control is availablethroughtheOptimusConfigurator software.
How do I connectOptimus? You needtwo cables: a USB cable(USB1.0 or 2.0,the latter is preferable) and a power strip(a power adapter with European and US plugs is part of the package).The device is powered by 100–240V, 50–60Hz.
Is Optimus AC-powered? Yes, a PC would not be ableto powerthe keyboard(19V, ~6А) on its own.
Can I connect other USB devicesto the keyboard? Optimus is equipped with a hubfortwo additional high-speed USB 2.0 ports.
What is the SD cardfor? All layouts are stored on the SD cardto allow key imagesto change quickly.
An SD card of what capacity is part of the package? Optimus comes with a 32 MB card(at least)that will be enoughfor storing basic layouts. For additional layouts, a card of larger capacity will be required.
Howfrequently do theframes change? It depends on the number of displays in use. If you wantthe images on all113 buttonsto change simultaneously withthe information provided directlyfrom a PC,thentheframe rate will be around10 frames per second. If animated images are displayed on 5 buttons, andthe information is uploadedfromthe SD card,then it will be faster.
