Pre-order the Optimus Maximus keyboard If you're (a) very rich, (b) very bonkers, (c) both

The Russian design studio that are creating what must surely be the world's most expensive keyboard are gearing up to start taking pre-orders for their limited edition peripheral.
You can finally pre-order Art. Lebedev Studio's Optimus Maximus keyboard as of May 20, at 3.00pm Moscow time for the bargain price of $1564. We're not sure what that equates to in Russian currency, but it's a whole lotta rubles.
If you're wondering what in the world could possibly justify such a whopping asking price – all 114 keys are finished with tiny, customisable OLED screens.
Further specs won't actually be made available until 20 May, and as a word of warning it'll be a while before you get your keyboard after pre-ordering – the studio have set out a production schedule and will only produce 200 at the start of December 2007, 200 at the end of December and 400 in January 2008.
