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. Exhibit #1: A final pre-production photo of the keypad in its aluminum case (Verbarius is in the background). Exhibit #2: The Aux has been priced at around $650 US. [livejournal] -

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 » -

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]
