message: Quoting What wikipedia isn't
"Future events are usually unencyclopedic, especially if they are unverifiable until they have actually occurred. In particular:
1. Individual scheduled or expected future events, such as the 2028 Summer Olympics, are not suitable topics for articles, unless they are as predictable as an astronomical event; planning or preparation for the event is already in progress and the preparation itself merits encyclopedic inclusion; or speculation is well documented, such as with the 2008 U.S. presidential election. The schedule as a whole may also be appropriate."
In this case, not only it's not only unverifiable, but a company has something to gain out of the product being advertised. Adidas 10:37, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah! Let's delete it and then recreate it for the sheer principle! Now the article is about a real product, however much criticised. The technology makes it notable. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 10:20, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Apparently another company is going to release something similar (but real) http://www.i4u.com/article4222.html. I recommend that all the wikivertisement specialists go and create a new page for it, linking to the prefilled shopping cart. Apparently there are enough of you to win the VFds anyway.

replies: text: That keyboard is hardly in the same league as the Optimus. Wether or not the Optimus will ever be real, it is (as far as I know) the first keyboard with context sensitive keys like this. Not to mention the fact that that is true for all keys, not just a few function keys as the one you linked, which seems like just a small gimmick. At least this idea by itself is innovative enough to deserve a Wikipedia page, and the best way to do that is to create a page on something slightly (I know) more tangible... I am glad the other board exists though, as competitors will only increase chances of technology like the Optimus to reach the market sooner. That is my 2 pence worth.

replies: text: I concur. The other keyboard feature is just a row of backlit monochromatic keys as it's distinguishing feature, as opposed the the Optinus' feature set. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 05:40, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

text: I just found out about the Ergodex DX1. It's a completely different concept, but the target audience seems to be more or less identical. I also believe that (although I don't think the DX1 would be very useful, for me anyway) this thing's main feature is important enough to mention. Maybe along with the Zboard (apparently that has an article too) and Logitech's G15 Gaming Keyboard it could make for a new article Gaming keyboards or something along those lines. It could list and describe the aforementioned products, without bias, add a bit of history, the technologies used, the ideas behind them... Let the old pages redirect to the new thing. Anyone agree this would be a good (better) solution? Retodon8 14:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Those products make me almost wish I played modern computer games. Perhaps you could buy them, try them out for yourself, and write articles about them? JIP | Talk 18:18, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Who are you referring to exactly with the second sentence? The keyboard obviously isn't out yet... but maybe you were referring to buying the games and reviewing those? Or... in other words, I am more than a bit confused about what you meant to say exactly. :) Retodon8 16:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

text:  Considering earlier discussions, I have to admit I am a bit surprised nobody responded to my idea yet. Oh well! Retodon8 16:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

This is terrible and should be deleted.

thread_title:  Such keyboards existed since long. 

message: This page could really do without these old "renders" of possible layouts that were based on the wishful thinking of people who were obsessed with this thing prior to its release. The product is out now, it exists. There's no reason for these old images, which don't represent the final product, to still be in an encyclopedic article about it.
