There are keyboards for a wide variety of tasks and in numerous designs, we have taken a look at the most expensive keyboard in the world.
The most expensive keyboard in the world: Categories
There is a concept for the most expensive keyboard in the world, which can traditionally be divided into three categories. The highest priced overall, the gaming version and the most durable and robust model. Each of these categories appeals to different types of affluent buyers.
- In the gaming keyboard category, there is a particularly successful and interesting model called Optimus Popular. Instead of conventional keys with letters or numbers, this keyboard has small displays with a width and height of 12.5 mm. These displays can be individually labelled by the user or provided with graphics.
- The main feature of the keyboard is that it shows the player all the necessary commands directly on the keys, which makes gameplay easier. No matter what game one is playing, the keys always display the appropriate actions. In addition, the user can adapt the display to any layout or control keys in other programmes such as Photoshop or audio editors.
- The Optimus Popular responds very quickly to keystrokes, which is especially important when playing fast-paced games like shooters or racing games. The keyboard is also very thin and light and has an additional display for music control. It was developed in the studio of Artemy Lebedev and costs 880 dollars or about 50 thousand roubles.
- In summary, the advantages of the Optimus Popular keyboard include a customised design, customisable lettering or graphics on the keys, light weight and a thin design. In addition, the keyboard features a fast response speed and separate music control.
The most expensive keyboard in the world: the most durable model
The 2000-IS-DT from Stealth Computer is the most expensive keyboard in the world when it comes to endurance. This model costs a whopping US$2,200 and is made of materials that cannot be harmed by fire or water. The manufacturer states that the keyboard can work in extreme temperatures from -40 degrees to +90 degrees without any problems, but it is unclear who would work with it in such conditions. However, it is probably suitable for polar explorers and astronauts who have to work in difficult environments.
- The housing is made of a single piece of steel and the keys are made of solid rubber. In addition, it has a trackball with three auxiliary buttons that replaces the mouse in situations where using a mouse is impractical or impossible. The manufacturer guarantees that the keyboard will continue to function properly after years of use.
- Optically, it is quite simple and looks almost like a standard keyboard. However, any normal user can be sure that they will not accidentally damage it at home. Unless it is deliberately destroyed.
- Advantages of the 2000-IS-DT: A steel casing that works flawlessly even in extreme conditions. A uniform rubber coating on the keys that protects against liquids and other corrosive elements. The ability to operate in extreme temperatures. It delivers consistent performance even under heavy load and is specifically designed for people with certain occupations.
