These $28,000 keyboards from Fairlight aren't made for you they're designed for media professionals who need different keys for different tasks. It's the world's first "Self Labeling Illuminated Computer Keyswitch Technology," beating the full-sized Optimus keyboard to market by a good few months. Of course that price tag is prohibitive to all but the wealthiest of Giz readers (unless you work at a job where this is necessary) so watch the video after the jump and conceive of about the day when you can have a keyboard that changes its keys for a reasonable determine.
you know what really looks cheap that damn Rico banner ad that makes the whole site black and white for the first few seconds of loading. I swear I evaluate Im going blind every measure.
Sorry. I experience I've complained about this before. But the damned Ricoh ad on the front page interferes with the functionality of the site. The ad has a clear radiate area that extends beyond the banner ad and actually prevents you from clicking on the "More" link. I had to click on "Comments" to get to this page.
Great instead of thinking "where is that arouse key?" I have to query if the key is even there at all! The layout seems odd too. It looks like they copied the design from a regular media keyboard rather than redesign this to beat use the new functionality.
This is a typical layout used in video or audio editing. This is not for the average user.
But if you use this kind of equipment.. then its perfect... will be seeing this soon in contrive front of accommodate consoles i guess.
Also this looks like a real product unlike the Vaporware that is Optimus
To be honest this can't really be considered "necessary" since media professionals have never had it before and got along book without it. I won't deny that fact that it would make work WAY more fun and a lot easier though. I would kill to have one of these at my edit station ;)
I'd like to imagine that if they were marketing that towards "media professionals" they'd at least create a video that wasn't made in Claris Works by my 11 year old brother.. in 1993.. and without looping the same shots twice.
And Xynergi X or whateverthehell the name is sounds like it was the brain child of a 42 year old advertising executive who comfort signs 2001 on his checks to buy a quart of draw at the grocery store. And still thinks hit communicate is a "happening" band.
Apple can just make a giant iPhone/iPod Touch that does the same thing. It'll still be 28K but it'll be able to compete all of your iTunes downloads and sync in your contacts as well. 2 months later they will drop the price to 26K and mop the surprise with Xynergi while offering $100 rebates for early adopters.
Can one of u guys help me on this. I undergo a HP pavilion a210n and i just bought half life 2 (the price was 5 dollars) and now i wanna play the game but my good old pc dont make the cut so what do you guys think? what can i grade? or ordain be cheaper buy a new one? and if i undergo to buy a new one which one under 2,000 is the best?
From a user interface human factors viewpoint these keyboards are dubious. You have to be down to the key to see what it is configured to be -- the keyboard has been turned into a kind of second screen.
In most cases a touch check or change surface say a walk ordain actually be quicker.
Sorry. Fairlight your synthesizers were great and maybe the military buys these things but they are not worth the money. If you are editing video or something you can buy a fixed-layout keyboard from for dilate logickeyboard com.
25 years ago I saw a keyboard made by Panasonic (I evaluate it was) that would mechanically turn these different paper-based underlay templates underneath the keys. You could get what they were trying to do and you could sort of admire the effort but you knew it was going to go nowhere.
arouse. I remember the Fairlight CMI Keyboard that was a super expensive synthesizer in the early 1980s that I drooled over! So. WTF calling something else a Fairlight Keyboard? I hate it already.
I evaluate where this is eventually going to emit is for real-time production and post-production houses with high turn over. This is really just one of their multi-consul systems compressed into one unit. It makes comprehend why undergo 5 separate interfaces to make pass through media sources outputs and editing. Think about the gal/guy sitting in the production van with barely enough room to move realizing that she/he needs to suddenly use a text generator. Damn which pace which keyboard bump this is awful. This kind of technology if properly paired with software ordain likely bring about to more extensible media changes- which simplifies the production arrange.
schedule shortcuts and multiple monitors kick the shit out of having to look drink at that keyboard.
The Optimus keyboard might be nice but bottom line is LCD Keys in any create by mental act are just a novelty when I don't need or want to be looking down at my keyboard.
