Optimus Pultius, numeric keypad of the Gods

Optimus Pultius, from the makers of the $1,536 Optimus Maximum OLED beast-keyboard, presents a less extravagant embodiment of its functionality. As with its big brother, the keys are tiny displays, which change depending on context so that you know exactly what it will do. But with only 15 keys, it'll be more affordable — and portable! From the makers:

Optimus Pultius - a 15-keys addition to any keyboard. To be used with the Maximus or with any other non-display keyboard. Optimus Pultius uses the same principles as Maximus, has the same display keys and the same set of ports on the back (using one instead of two additional USB hub slots).

Availability is set for the end of this year or early next year. Commenter Frijole, first in at at the Optimus Project blog post, speaks for us all: "do want."
