The Optimus Aux the latest product in the Optimus range is due to come out some time this year (No dates yet). For those of you who have not heard of the optimus series it is a series of keyboard deviced with customizable keys. Must notebly the Optimus Maximus. The optimus Maximus contains the amount of keys on a qwerty keyboard and each one key an OLED screen inbuilt. This allows customisation. So you could change spare keys to be photoshop tools or to switch to a specific weapon in Counter Strike. When you press shift, the letters on the keyboard even change to uppercase!
So you can have an english keyboard

However there has always been one major drawback. The price! At a hefty £1000 it is expensive. But now the Optimus Aux is coming out. The Optimus Aux is a smaller version of the Maximus with the same functionality. The pure genius is that there are usb slots in the back so all you have to do is get another Aux, stick it in the back and you can have two at the same time!
