OCZ Sabre OLED-Tastatur

Zitat

The nine programmable OLED keys are positioned on the far left of the keyboard. Each has a resolution of 64 x 64 pixels, 2000:1 contract ratio, 160-degree viewing angle and a brightness rating of 100 nits. Unlike the Art Lebedev offerings, the Sabre's OLED keys are not full color and only display in yellow, so don’t expect many Ooh’s and Ahh’s from onlookers.

Installing the Sabre on a desktop and a netbook system, both running Windows XP went without effort. The keyboard was automatically detected on both systems and I was prompted to connect to Windows Update to search for software. I cancelled this request and allowed the system to locate the keyboard’s onboard memory. From there, I installed the x86 Sabre Manager and was all set.

...the included User Manual does a good job of explaining it all and providing examples of each layer type and its purpose.

Having used the OCZ Sabre OLED keyboard for a couple of weeks on my main system, I ended up having mixed opinions. The standard 103-keyboard works just fine. I would have preferred a larger, more pronounced wrist rest, but other than that it gets the job done.

Besides the OLED key bank, there are no other additional features like USB ports or media controls to draw you in. The blue LEDs on either side of the board didn’t seem to offer much functionality in a real usage scenario as they were not bright enough to overcome the illumination from my monitors.
