    Little-known keyboard maker Koribo has put out a unit called the Leira that looks like a couch potato’s dream. Indentations on the underside that fit onto your legs? Really, Koribo. How deliciously decadent.

    This sucker has it all. Multi-touch trackpad on the right side, a cluster of play control buttons on the left — even plain old channel up/down controls! Sure, it’s not much of a looker, but let’s be honest. If you wanted a cool-looking home theater setup, you’d go with a Boxee Box. But no, you’re running Windows XP off a five-year-old HP box in the closet. You’re proud of it, and you should be.

    Anyway, I can’t think of a more fitting way to control your OGG/MKV collection. Tech-Reviews and Neoseeker have reviews for you. They cost around $50 if you can find one.
