Art.Lebedev Optimus Mini Three is a very innovative little keyboard product. While the large price tag will make it appealing only to a limited number of customers, the price reflects a designer product. It offers a lot of functionality, but nothing you couldn't do without. The Optimus Mini Three is the ultimate gadget for the computer enthusiast, so the price will not be as important as the fun factor of the device.

if a reviewer sells whatever the manufacturer lets him keep that's fine with me. writing reviews takes a lot of time and effort .. darksaber is buying a new digital camera to have better pictures .. i think it's just fair if he pays for it with this

The product manual said:
Optimus mini three is a fragile electronic device. Don't let the keyboard drop, keep it save from jolts and punches. Avoid hitting the keyboard keys and body with a hammer; heating the keyboard in a microwave oven; washing it in a washing machine; hurling it against the wall; dropping it from a height; soaking it with any liquids.

Good, they know their target consumers very well.
Nice little toy.
