MacLife Review: Art Lebedev Studio Optimus Maximus

MacLife:

"Optimus Maximus" fittingly sounds like a cross between a Transformer and an emotional plateau of Roman excess. Easily the most expensive keyboard we've ever reviewed-and one of the most interesting-each blank key houses a 48-by-48 pixel OLED display instead of permanent markings. Hit Shift, and lower-case letters stand tall, while the number row turns into simple punctuation.

But the chameleon keyboard can morph even more, displaying customizable languages and icons to match menu commands or macros. It can even present a range of live data, such as the time or CPU load. And while we wanted even more ways for the Mac to utilize the keys-iChat notifications, for example-we were most disappointed by the keyboard's physical action. Each press requires significantly more force than our range of regular input devices, and a slightly larger key shape takes some getting used to.

Ah sod the Maximus I want logitech to start rolling out the G19 at a decent price. This is the successor too the G15 but instead of a crappy black and white lcd it comes with a full colour 320 x 240 LCD screen.

Bubsy's Purrfect Collection Couldn't Be in Better Hands | VGChartz Preview

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "During my time at PAX East, Sorlie walked me through two titles: the original Bubsy on SNES (his personal favorite) and the now infamous Bubsy 3D, the franchise's first foray into three dimensions. Each game in the anthology will feature the quality-of-life features common to Limited Run's Carbon Engine, including rewind, save states, screen & filter options, and even an optional "boost mode" that overclocks the system slightly to remove slowdown."

My one friend and I loved Bubsy 1. We used to compare him to Sonic all the time. So with us and the one person from this article it has at least three fans. 🤣

I was so lucky as a kid my parents convinced me to rent Busby 3d first because I was full steam ahead on buying it with my pocket money based on the advertising alone.

But then this guy would've made an obscure Spin Doctor's reference, and no one wants that.
