Now this is one cool keyboard. Just imagine the fun programming FSX into it :clap:

Optimus keyboard and

Optimus Maximus

"Every key of the Optimus keyboard is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment."

I gotta get one!!! :rockon:

Very cool indeed- They should just release a version with maybe the number key pad with those buttons to keep costs down???

Depends how expensive a whole keyboard is i guess?

I've got a feeling that you can buy them, I think they're more than $1000 tho.
My brother has a Logitech G25 which is plugged into my FSX computer, I haven't programmed anything into the custom keys yet. It also has an LCD screen, so it would be cool to get a read out of airspeed etc on it (tho because it's Logitech it's not supported by MS out of the box)

That looks awesome, but is it just me or is the second link not working? :)

I've reposted the link. Appears to be working. Not sure why it wasn't

If it's still not working just use the first link and click on the Optimus Maximus on that page.
