A million keyboards in one


Optimus Popularis is an indispensable tool when it comes to high performance in any creative field and will be appreciated by designers, typesetters, traders, musicians, video designers, photographers, and others.
At its best
The upper portion of the keyboard—between the numeral keys and the Function keys—is reserved to display a custom range of the most important information. The Fn key (bottom left) switches the functions, bringing up upon request a set of tools that full-size keyboards usually have to the right.
