Luxeed u5

Rewind your mind to the days when you dreamt of getting your hands on the overpriced, ultra cool Optimus Maximus keyboard. Now Mac and Linux users can get in on the polychromatic action thanks to the new Luxeed U5 keyboard, which improves on the original Luxeed by adding multi-platform support. The original Luxeed was made available over at Think Geek about a year ago. The Luxeed L5 makes changes to the LED system to reduce ghosting. They’ve also added a firmware updater utility and improved the overall responsiveness of the keys. Hopefully they’ll fix some of the issues with occasionally sticky keys too. Or maybe that’s just because of the crumbs and Tab fan boys have spilled between the keys during lunchtime. But does it really matter anyway? You’re not buying one of these because they’re the most responsive keyboard out there. It’s all about the bright candy-like colours.
