said by kamm:said by r81984:The Optimus Maximus has real uses.
Just think for restaraunt cash registers, as the menu changes the keyboard can change.
In manufacuring, the same thing. You change the keyboard pictures based on what is on the screen.
Just think of setting up a computer for grandma and setting the icons on the keys to help her out.
It has valid professional and home uses.
Also, it is really cool to show off if you have one.
Having dynamic keys on a keyboard is a very useful idea.
Suuure: restaurants will flock to buy just a KEYBOARD for twice the price their current touchscreen-based - which offers a LOT MORE than Optimus ever will - entire machine costs...
Did I mention that these little buttons offer pretty small pics at very low rez?
So it's not only waiters won't see shit but "manufacturing" (whatever it stands for) or grandma will burn a lot of money on the worst possible solution (provided grandma has the eyes of an eagle, LOL) of a simple problem.
Optimus is a typical
expensive gimmick - a machine with a touchscreen display offers the same and a LOT MORE for less. I imagine you work at Mcdonalds with how you think.
