Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LCD Keyboard

luxeed

Lusting after an Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard?  Don’t have the $1600 to drop on such a luxurious - albeit “OMGcooooool” - peripheral, especially when you already have a keyboard that (I’m assuming) works?  We just might have found you a happy medium.  The Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LCD keyboard retails for a comparatively bargain price of $199.99 (tack on an extra $35 if you need a keypad, though that won’t light up).  You won’t get the awesome program-specific key layouts like the Optimus features, but you will get the pretty colors and soft lighting, all of which are programmable with the included software.  ThinkGeek is currently the only place in the States that the Luxeed is available, so get those credit cards ready!

At a size of 72 x 45 x 45mm and a weight of 65g, the hub supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista, MAC OS X, and Linux. When not in use, the hub can stack to save space.

Compatible with Windows XP/Vista, Mac or Linux users can get the keyboard but will have no effects. The Luxeed peripheral will set you back $199.99 and if you want a matching keypad that doesn’t light up, it is an additional $34.99. Frankly, they make us a bit dizzy.

Check the video above for details on ‘s new 2263DX dual monitor setup. The 2263DX features a large display much like the standard displays computer users interact with every day, but also includes a smaller secondary monitor which is mounted on an arm allowing it to be placed above the main monitor or too either of the sides. This secondary monitor allows for short bits of information to be viewed at a glance. Windows sideshow, email account summaries, web video conferencing and other information that is useful to have displayed at all times are ideal for this monitor as they do not take up valuable working real-estate from the main monitor. The main monitor features standard DVI, VGA, and connections, but to simplify connection the smaller monitor is connected via and contains a miniature USB video card.
