Early this morning, I was going through blogs and came across this post on the new Apple keyboards. It seems that Apple has engineered its new keyboard to detect keystrokes. The blogger brings up a point on how he was always hitting the Caps Lock key by accident when he went to hit the shift key. I myself have found myself doing the same thing. But how come when we hit the Caps Lock key, it… → Read More

There’s also a "cluster lighting option" for the WASD keys and an integrated USB extension port. It’ll be available in November for $79.99 MSRP. → Read More
This keyboard sleeve from Waterfield Designs borders between completely useless and the really useful. I can’t tell. On one hand, it’s a nice keyboard sleeve. Waterproof, heavily padded. It can probably take good care of your keyboard on the go. But another part of me asks, “Why are people bringing a full-sized keyboard around with them?” I mean, when are you going to use… → Read More
This is a wrist-rest for your PC keyboard that looks like a baguette. It is not delicious though, because it is made out of foam. To be honest, I’d rather the baguette be real so that if I got hungry during a Kara raid in World of Warcraft, I could just rip off a chunk, pull some meats and cheeses out of my desk and make a sandwich. Can you feel the meat? Can ya, can ya feel the meat? Loaf… → Read More
If Vince wasn’t in Orlando defiling a Magic Kingdom Princess then I could ask him if he’s been experiencing any problems with his new Apple keyboard, but alas he is not, so we’ll look elsewhere for answers. It seems as though a fair amount of folks are experiencing issues with the F3 and F4 function keys. The Expose and Dashboard functions don’t seem to work although a few… → Read More
Sleek and stylish like an ostrich walking across water When Apple revealed the new iMac at its Town Hall meeting, I was less than impressed. Sure, the design was cooler and the speeds were increased, but it still looks an awful lot like my iMac G5 with iSight. However, with the new iMacs came new Apple keyboards. Slim as hell and packed with improvements, it takes on the style of keys that the… → Read More
ThinkMac, the guys behind the NewsLife RSS reader (I used its predecessor, NewsMac, back in the day), just got Apple’s fancy new iMac keyboard and delivered onto us a short, sorta mixed reaction review. There’s no silly unboxing, no “boy it’s sexyyy¡” here, just the opinion of some hard-working Mac developers. → Read More
If you’re looking to take your gaming to the next level then check out the Logitech G9 laser mouse. Why? Because I said so. Heh. The G9 is no joke, folks. You have full control over the performance characteristics of the mouse, which is great, but some douche is going to cry foul and say someone messed with his dpi setting. Aside from adjusting the dpi from 200 to 3,200 are the interchangeable… → Read More
iPhone envy is still abound throughout the US, but more so outside of the country and it’s quite evident by the video showcasing a virtual touch-keyboard on the Nokia N800. Coded in Python, the keyboard lacks predictive text, but chicks won’t know the difference if your pawing your N800 uncontrollably in public. You know you want it! → Read More
We all know that new iMacs will most likely come out before year’s end, but did you know that new keyboards will be included with them? According to “credible sources” and “tipsters”, the guys at AppleInsider are claiming that the freshly designed keyboards will take a tip from the Macbook’s “low profile” keyboard to make the size of the keyboard… → Read More
In typical Apple fashion, a new iPhone tutorial video has been released, iPhone keyboard. I don’t think they appreciated Walt’s hatred of the keyboard. That magnification feature is pretty cool, but you won’t be catching me in line for one any time soon. Pudgy fingered people rejoice, you too, can have your very own iPhone without fear of pulling a Homer. iPhone Keyboard → Read More
Are you ready to get WILD, Microsoft fans? Well, the $79.95 Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 is ready to get WiLD with you — get it? Wirless Laser Desktop? Wi L D? Funny, right?

It’s available in April… → Read More
AMEX Digital must really hate keys because they’ve launched a new wireless Skype phone and keyboard with Touch Sense keys. Maybe I’m old school, but I like the feedback I get from regular buttons. Don’t get me wrong: the idea of everything being touch sensitive is really neat, but what if you have chubby fingers? The TSP-VS501 is a dual-mode phone for both Skype and landline use. All you… → Read More
Tired of people making fun of its incredibly functional, yet aesthetically barren devices, RIM last year released the Blackberry Pearl, a stylish candy bar that didn’t sacrifice power—I reviewed it favorably last week. This week comes news that RIM is seeking a patent for a newfangled rotating keypad. From the looks of it, the rotation would give the pad dual functionality as a phone… → Read More
Released at CES this year, Cypress came out strong with a keyboard that swivels to accomodate both left and right handed users and the ability to adjust height. Ya that’s about it, no word on pricing or availability. UPDATE – I thought this looked familiar. Infinium just rebadged it. Ambidextrous Keyboard [Asus] → Read More

It rolls up for portability and rolls out the jams for good times. Just imagine bringing your laptop and this thing to a park and busting out a Journey solo. The ladies will flock to you like pigeons to stale bread. Though the price is right, if this… → Read More
If you’re like me, you find shooters nearly impossible to play without a mouse and keyboard. This is a huge pitfall for console gaming as many of the more professional sort of gamers are inclined to use mouse and keyboard for games, rather than a gamepad. Well, a company called XCM aims to bridge that gap with the XFPS 360. The device provides both PS/2 and USB ports for connecting your… → Read More
Although Blake is our resident germ-freak, none of us enjoy the thought of having any kind of microbiotics crawling all over something we spend half the day with our hands on – and we’re not talking about our own bodies. The Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3200 not only solves that with patented AgION antimicrobial technology, it’s wireless, got loads of buttons customized for… → Read More
Logitech’s first rechargable keybord, the diNovo Edge is the long-awaited update to the slim-and-pretty 2003 model. It uses Bluetooth, which gives you extended range over RF keyboards, so controlling a media center PC from you couch isn’t out of the question. The keyboard features every kind of high-end advancement Logitech could think of apparently. The body is laser cut from a… → Read More
Skype phones are popping up all over the place. In Sony MP3 players, in mice, and now–of course–in a keyboard. Buffalo is releasing this USB keyboard/handset for about $60. It doesn’t have speakerphone capability, but it does have 109 keys on it. It’s also named the BKBU-SKJ109/SV. Get yours in October. BKBU-SKJ109/SV [Impress via Engadget] → Read More
Don’t you hate typos? Our editors like them – it gives them something to do – but the new Elecom TK-U09FG keyboard due for release next month in Japan might put them out of work. Instead of a standard or scissor action, each key is “geared”, meaning it’s got a pair of rack and pinions that make the key depress evenly across the face, so the center and corners… → Read More
If you’re always entering in data or typing out txt messages to your cell phone, you know how janky those non-qwerty keys can be. Try this $56 portable bluetooth keyboard from Brando, which works with Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile Smartphones and even regular PCs. It’s only 3.7-inches when not in use, and weighs under 3 ounces – perfect for going into your pocket. Because of… → Read More
Most wireless keyboards use RF instead of the clogged 2.4GHz band, which sits WiFi, Bluetooth, your microwave, and many other devices. Not i-Rocks though. It has 8,388,608 unique IDs to differentiate the keyboard and the mouse from other wireless devices. It also comes with a USB dongle that stores inside the mouse. The keyboard is also a “laptop style” keyboard with “laptop… → Read More

Thinkgeek got their hands on a final production sample of the Optimus Mini Three keyboard; the keyboard that only has three keys. Despite that, each key has an OLED display on it that you can use to show whatever you want. Examples are weather, how much free memory you have, how much your current CPU usage is, or a 3FPS webcam stream. It’s only Windows compatible for now, but Mac and Linux… → Read More
This Razer keyboard gets the honor of being the first announced Zune-compatible keyboard. Not just supporting the Apple iPod, this Pro|Type has Media Center keys, programmable keys, 32KB of onboard memory, two USB ports, and a line-out for audio peripherals.
