It’s expensive now but it will help drive down the price of these really cool buttons. I bet you could take one apart and create your own button matrix (see the discussion in the sequencer forum).

Anyone seen these for cheap anywhere?

That thing is pretty. I want one ;D

ooooooohhh,

me likey!

Actually forget the keyboard,

Look at their other concepts!!

me no likey that one.

need tactile feedback.

poor name choice too…

Ok so they are using OLED display keys are from UNITED KEYS.

I did not look carefully at the pricing. The $450 model is for an oled spacebar only!! If you want one with 113 buttons it will be a whopping $1564.37

I guess it will be a couple of years until the mobile phone and video game industry drive the prices down to be accessible for DIY guys like us.

Until then it is back to TACT swicthes for now!!

ArtLebedev do usually give their boutique-designed products names which hold ‘-us’ endings.

Probably their internal joke slash signature.
