    While this keyboard would be pretty hard for any hunt-and-peck typist to use, it really is a great way of showing the power of some brands. The speed at which your mind can connect the lips logo with the Rolling Stones and R, or the swoosh with Nike and N is pretty striking. Lacoste took me a second, along with a couple others, but by and large these logos are pretty much adequate replacements for the letters of the alphabet. They’re just symbols, after all.

    It’s not real (yet) unfortunately, because I think it’d be a fun gift for a designer, assuming they can touch type. Go leave a comment saying you want one!
