Why not just get a keyboard that you can custom configure all the keys?

The Optimus Maximus would be perfect for you!

Demo of the Optimus Maximus:

Supposedly the Optimus Maximus works with All Operating Systems.

Which operating systems does Optimus support?
Optimus supports all operating systems, but we first develop software only for Windows and Mac.

Why isn’t there any Linux software?
Because first we want to let 95% of people to work with the keyboard.

Is there a chance it will support Linux?
Maybe sometime.

Can I update the firmware myself?
Yes, you can.

The Optimus Maximus is a very cool keyboard, but I got to admit that I laughed out *very* loud when I saw the price

I can understand the price because of all the tech in the keyboard and lcd's in the keys ... but ... its still just a keyboard!

Yeah, I think it may be for people who only have enough money to afford it.

The price is a bit over the top and admittedly laughable, but for someone who has the money and wants such an item, more power to them.

I remember keyboards that used to have an extra row of function keys, up to F24.
