Now they are trying to make the keyboad seem reasonable by comparing it to other highly priced keyboards: http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/price-compare/As far as the patents go companies always find ways around them. Patents are always so specific that they just change the parts used and design a little bit and they are able to get around the patents. I would much prefer Logitech to make it as well simply because of technical support. Get this!

As far as the patents go companies always find ways around them. Patents are always so specific that they just change the parts used and design a little bit and they are able to get around the patents. I would much prefer Logitech to make it as well simply because of technical support.

It's always getting pushed back further and further. I'm honestly surprised they haven't given up yet.

I'm glad they reinstated all 114 keys and color screens on all of them, but with the constant delays and the gigantic price tag, is <em>anybody</em> going to buy this? Also, any hope that Logitech will make a similar product is false hope indeed. Maybe you all forgot that this thing will be <strong>patented</strong>, and therefore no other company will be able to make competing products. My hope is that, when they inevitably see that their sales are terrible, they will sell the patent off to Logitech, who I'm sure could make the same thing for $300, at most.
