Art Lebedev's Optimus Maximus Keyboard

Art Lebedev's design baby, the Optimus Maximus keyboard is finally available to the general public. The keyboard, was once exclusive only to people on a very limited pre-order list at the official Lebedev website.
Here's the kicker: Each key, is essentially a miniature OLED display, all of which can be programmed to show videoclips, HTML codes, basically anything you want.

$1600 for a fancy keyboard is a whopper.

You can get several iPhones for less and most Vaio desktops. You can even fill your room with a sea of Milky Way bars...if you're into that sort of thing. Hell, you could take a round trip to Europe and actually shake hands with Lebedev whilst commandeering a horse drawn carriage.
Even more, you could take the man to a smoky Russian pub and treat him to some of the most expensive firewater on Earth, just to show your appreciation for this awesome little gadget.

But still, watching pretty colours flicker on an inanimate board is also very entertaining in its own respect. Don't expect any plug-and-play action here though, I've heard that it takes more then a few hours to get it up and running.
