Optimus keyboard
Amazing state of the art keyboard
Saturday, July 16, 2005 by Tarkus | Discussion: Personal Computing
Every key on this amazing keyboard is programmable, not only in terms of functionality, but in presentation. Even animation on keys is supported.
You can have one layout for Photoshop and another for Quake, for example, and the keys will change to reflect those two programs.
Check out the link for more cool pictures.
This is a 10 on the Geek Cool Meter!

There are many people already using 2 completely different keyboards at once, and
there are several ways it can be done.
In opposite to some double mouse configs, one of which can be an internal
laptop touchpad and one the external mouse, which is easier than 2 external
mice (that is also done already),
using 2 keyboards means (IF BOTH HAVE PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS):
you need 2 PRIMARY USB PORTS/HUBS, laptops often have only 3 or 5 primary usbs.
It will not help to externally connect a normal hub to that, that gives more
secondary hubs and kills one primary hub by doing that. What also needs a
primary hub is programmable logitech wireless MX 1000 laser mouse, and an
external hard disk drive IF THAT HAS A PRIMARY BOOTABLE FAT 32 PARTITION, but
these drives have their own subhubs, which are secondary allowing you at least
to hook up printers, other devices, NOT ALWAYS bluetooth dock hubs, cause
they want primary hubs anyway.
If you are not using laptops it is easier. This was one of the first methods.
Second most famous method example is the specially designed FAVORITES ONLY
SECONDARY keyboard that has no normal keys at all, just 100 blank keys for
anything, gaming, complicated mousetriggering macro shortcuts running 20
programs at once or succeeding each other, all initiated and closed down
by pressing on hardware key, by the way, you can assign this to 30 keys
of Microsofts normal multimedia keyboard also, in the wireless and cord
version, not just in its 5 blank favorite keys.
Now the additional favorites only keyboard has its own output hub which
is PRIMARY for locking your MICROSOFT normal first keyboard into that
also needs a primary hub.
Still you want both of these kbs to be replaced with ANIMATED illuminations
in the future.

| know people who have two mice connected at the same time, so I don't see why you couldn't do the same with two keyboards. |
