Those of you who read Engadget, or follow tech blogs, or are otherwise incredibly geeky, have surely heard of the Optimus Maximus. Vaporware for years, Engadget has finally got their hands on one. The verdict?

Typing on it, well, sucks.

This is a shining example of people building tech products that appeal to geeks, but overlooking the most basic, important functions. Sure, it's nice to look at, and it sounds really cool to hot swap your keys. But, if it can't type, then what good is it to anyone? What, I'm supposed to have two keyboards at my desk? One for typing, and one for ... having little pictures? There's a reason the iPhone is also a great phone. At $1500 it might not matter, because only crazy people are going to buy one anyway.
