Its the same if you compare i.e. Fiat Punto and Enzo Ferrari, you can drive both but which car would you prefer to drive? And the idea of making a keyboard with a separate miniature LED display programmable from the PC is just great. I doubt that you are going mainly to play quake on it. Though i agree that price is a bit high but look, they've received 75 pre-orders already. Not bad for the first day when they started accepting it. I wouldn’t call the price silly.

I've been over everything I can find and they state in the blog - "It's a 114-key keyboard"..." - "It has 10 extra keys on the left for all the controlling/monitoring functions..." - "Every key, including the space bar, has a display. Each display is 32x32 pixels full-color OLED." (later in another post they change the spec to 48x48 pixels) Plus, if they wanted that much money for something with only 10 display keys the price would look even sillier than it does already!

– “It’s a 114-key keyboard”…”
– “It has 10 extra keys on the left for all the controlling/monitoring functions…”
– “Every key, including the space bar, has a display.
Each display is 32×32 pixels full-color OLED.”

(later in another post they change the spec to 48×48 pixels)

Plus, if they wanted that much money for something with only 10 display keys the price would look even sillier than it does already!

The Optimus Maximus that's coming out only has 10 OLED keys with the possibility to replace the regular keys that are on it at a later time. The full 114 OLED model is not scheduled for release yet.
