Art Lebedev Takes Wall Sockets 3D
Your typical wall socket just sits there defeated by life, making no decent effort to prevent the inevitable pwning by a 10-socket surge protector. Art Lebedev's Rozetkus socket, however, transforms from 2D to 3D. More » -

Even a Simple USB Hub Requires Meticulous Planning
It's easy to not appreciate the engineering that goes into the most simple of devices, like this Art Lebedev Spectrus USB hub. A few ports, a few rainbow stickers—easy, right? Err...wrong. More » -

Art Lebedev's Optimus Aux Keypad Finalized, Priced at Around $650
Art Lebedev has been teasing us with details about their upcoming Optimus Aux keypad (previously known as the Pultius) for some time now, but it two pieces of evidence have us thinking that a production version will be on its way shortly.

Optimus Aux Keypad Body Photographed, Doesn't Surprise Anyone
From the haze of renders, name changes and unflatteringly exposed prototypes emerges the best evidence that a real-life Art Lebedev Optimus Aux keypad is nigh. The sexy, CNCed body doesn't look to have deviated at all from the proposed design, and the guts shouldn't pose any challenges that haven't already been overcome in the larger Optimus products. In other words, the Aux might be showing up on rich peoples' desks sooner rather than later. [Optimus Project] More » -

Art Lebedev Design for the Rest of Us: Pixelated Mouse-Pointer Fridge Magnets
When they're not designing $1,500 OLED keyboards or hot WiMax phone concepts, it's good to know the guys over at Art Lebedev Studio like to keep the common folk in mind, sometimes. The common folk who will like to pin up printouts of Gizmodo posts to their fridge with these pixel-art mouse-pointer magnets. They're about 2.5-inches tall and will run you $4 in the Art Lebedev store. [Art Lebedev via Pocket Lint] -

Art Lebedev's Folderix Finger Folder Flash Drive On Sale
We got our first look at the Folderix folder-shaped USB drive from Art Lebedev when it was in the concept phase. It took over a year to bring to market (that's Lebedev for you), but it appears that they took that time to subtly streamline the quirky little drive. You can pick up a 4GB now in yellow, blue or purple for $55. [Art Lebedev via Electronista] -

Optimus Pultius is a Leaner, Meaner, 15-key LED Pad
Fresh from the Optimus blog is the Optimus Pultius which shrinks the Optimus Maximus down to 15 keys, and is meant as an add-on to your existing keyboard setup. It's expected to be available at the end of 2008 or early 2009. No word on pricing, but hopefully a 30 year mortgage won't be a requirement. [Optimus Blog] -

Art Lebedev Plans "Popularis" Optimus Keyboard Priced Under $1000
Art Lebedev has unveiled plans for a new addition to the Optimus keyboard family with a keyboard dubbed the "Optimus Popularis." Details are scarce as the device is only a mock-up at this point—but we do know that it will be shorter than the Maximus, and it it will not use OLED screens to save cash. Instead it will be based on a "totally different principle" (ooh, mystery principle!). Naturally, no release date has been unveiled, but look for it to retail under $1000. [LiveJournal] -
