First Look: Optimus Keyboard Model Mini-Three

Despite massive speculation that Russian design firm Art Lebedev was set to release the Optimus keyboard today, that does not appear to be the case. Instead, the company has announced the Optimus Mini-Three, a smaller Optimus-like input device. We spoke with designer Artemy Lebedev who revealed all the pertinent details.

Artemy: Each key has a built-in large (2×2 cm) color OLED-display with a 96×96 pixels resolution. 262,000 colors and a viewing angle of 160 degrees. The only difference compared with ‘big’ Optimus is the size and the quantity of OLEDs. Displays are context-dependant. In every application displays show the available options. Plus, when you press any modifier key on a convenient keyboard (i.e. shift, control, option, etc.) you have more choices on the Optimus mini. So instead of only three keys you have almost infinite amount of actions.
