UnitedKeys Taking Pre-orders of its OLED Gaming Keyboard and Keypad

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:06:27 -0500

UnitedKeys OLED is a newcomer on the scene and already wants to jump right in the OLED keyboard market with Art Lebedev. Unfortunately, while they have managed to reduce the price significantly, it does seem to have the same WHOA factor in my opinion.

The 103-key full keyboard version features a 3x3 array of OLED keys on the left of a standard keyboard. This keyboard is 20.5-inches long, 7.25-inches wide and fully functional under both Windows XP or Windows Vista. The OLED keys are actually monochromatic unlike the Art Lebedev keyboard where the entire keyboard is FULL color OLED keys. Although, Artie's keyboard cost more than most HDTVs this holiday season at a whopping $1600 USD. The UnitedKeys keyboard can be pre-ordered for only about $259.99.

But wait THERE'S MORE! UnitedKeys is also offering a smaller 3x3 keypad with 9 customizable monochromatic keys. The keypad has a MSRP of $199.99 and is also available for pre-order now. Check it out here!

Logitech Announces... You Got To Be Kidding...

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:03:58 -0500

I am at the most amazing loss for words. I haven't been this dumbfounded for awhile. Imagine a device that was sculpted for one handed use. A keyboard with just the keys you needs, extra buttons, shift keys, joysticks and ergonomically ******... I give you the last 800 devices just like this one that have come out in the last decade.

It doesn't matter how many TERRIBLE reviews these get from us, or how many "meh" reviews it gets from our industry colleagues, nor does it matter how many "eh" reactions are freely given by the gaming community at large... No matter what, every gaming peripheral company comes around to thought that if they can hook just a few dopes and a few people who actually use these these things into buying these things, then its worth coming up with their own version at the price of their reputation.

Do yourselves a favor and let's pretend you didn't issue this press release...

THE ONLY GOOD NEWS to emerge from this is that a new G18 is in production and will be released within the year. The only thing we have to go off for the new keyboard is this picture of a prototype snapped by Engadget China. All we know for sure is gathered from this pic, including what appears to be a full color LCD screen! ooooo

You can find the press release to the G13 Gameboard below...ew.
