Optimus Maximus Review
Summary
Thanks to a glowing array of 115 individual OLED displays fitted under its keys, Art Lebedev’s Optimus Maximus is the first and only keyboard that literally morphs before your eyes.

Optimus Reveals Pultius 15-Key OLED Keypad
If you’ve been yearning for Art Lebedev’s Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard, but $1877.43 sounds just a little expensive for a typing device, fear not, the company hears your plight. On Tuesday, the company revealed the 15-key Optimus Pultius as a cheaper alternative to the full 113-key Maximus.
Since most users probably set a majority of the keys on their Maximus keyboards to the standard QWERTY configuration, the sidebar of application keys ends up being the main attraction, and that’s what the studio has recreated with the Pultius. Designed to sit alongside a normal keyboard, it gives users a bank of fifteen keys, each with its own customizable display.
