I'd probably switch back to triggering visuals with qwerty if I could make a little thumbnail of each clip show up on the keys :) Looks like the mini Optimus keyboard was actually real:

(plus the edges get a lil' funky after a while) I bought a PT keyboard from http://www.logickeyboard.com/. They also sell just the keys for replacement of mac keyboards for 60.00 to 80.00, which isn't cheap, but not insanely expensive. They have sets for Nuendo/Cubase, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and most video and image apps for the mac. EditorsKeys are dope.. but for me, I like the feel of the keys under my fingers, not stickers.

I'm glad you posted about the Logic, set as thats what i mainly use, have just upgraded from Pro Tools to Logic Pro, so that keyboard set is just in time!

The EditorsKeys *stickers* (unrelated product, unrelated creator) work just fine! ;) Sure enough, new-fangled embedded keyboard displays ... vaporware. Oldskool stickers: cheap and functional.

Of course, they have yet to recieve any. While I totaly agree with you, and a product like this would kill the market, I can't help but feel a bit like this (the website, optimus ect)is a hoax or publicity stunt. If you look at the photos of the designers, they look like promo photos out of some creepy film noir. I mean, if you look at project gray box, as an example, he had quite a few people donate money to the development, and then *poof* he's gone. The url was still valid for a long time, so why no goodbye note? I do recall reading somewhere they were looking for someone to pick up the production, which seemed like a cool idea. I just hope this isn't an investment scam or anything..

(Thanks for reminding me of the name.) I love that their "press clippings" section has articles talking about the fact that it seems to be vaporware, complete with old (missed) ship dates. It's hard to say: it's possible that they mean well and have discovered what many DIY hardware makers have, that shipping new products like this is difficult. Even with good intentions, though, the whole thing could never ship. It should be *possible*; I'll say that. Since they have the patents, let's hope they pull it off.
