I’ll admit that I’d love to have an Optimus Maximus keyboard, but that $1,500 price tag is just a little hard to swallow. Most people tend to agree that few would drop that kind of cash on something like a keyboard. That being said, here’s a keyboard that’s way more expensive.
In its defense, The XYNERGI from Fairlight has got more than fancy-looking keys (though it’s got those too!). It is packed with Fairlight’s CC-1 digital media engine. This is awesome for those that work in digital media fields. Check out the cool video of it in action below.
Just watching that video makes me want to go into music production or something just so I have a reason to play with it. Now where am I going to find $28,000?

The reporter is a dink.
NeutralThe keyboard isn’t $28,000.
The media production system (including the keyboard) starts at $21K USD.

As Artemy Lebedev had introduced his Optimus Maximus to public and announced his production several years ago (!) while Fairlight hadn’t, and as Artemy started selling his device several months ago, I’d sooner believe it’s Fairlight guys who have stolen the case from Art. Lebedev, not vice versa.
+1His patents are pending – will be nice to see the reaction.
