Imagine doing some intense gaming and getting your fingers caught underneath the keys.

It would be a nice touch if every now and then the keys got stuck if you typed too fast.

unless it makes the key tapping noises like an old school typewriter than i don't want it. and i love the feel of typing on an old typewriter. the way the keys resist and then give in reminds me of prom night all over again.

Futuristic Art Deco has been and will always be vastly superior to anything the brass-tinged bowels of Steampunk could ever dole out.

@Kaiser-Machead: Art Deco isn't limited to piano black and polished chrome. See: The Chrysler Building. Brass can also be tastefully used in Art Deco design, but at least now we'll be moving away from straps, (intentional) tarnish, and rust.

@s0crates82: Oh I know, and have seen it, but Steampunk likes its copperish brassy piping everywhere, with ducts that lead to more ducts, which lead to nowhere.

I for one welcome our new art deco overlords...

And scorn our previous steam punk overlords...

Hail the coming of a less tasteless age!

That is about 5,000 times more tasteful than anything steampunk and about 10,000 times more tasteful than the standard OEM Dell keyboard.

@OMG! Ponies!: I'm assuming you meant more DIStasteful than any regular ass normal keyboard out there. I'll let this one slide but watch yourself man...

@OMG! Ponies!: If there's one thing dell keyboards have going for them, it's sturdiness. As an acquaintance of mine once said, you could beat someone to death with a dell keyboard, then use it to write their obituary.

As far as taste goes, it's entirely relative, but I happen to like the dell keyb more than most. Mostly because of its nearly non-existent bezel and whatnot, but also because it doesn't try to be anything special.

@pettiblay: Cut him some slack, he's rather distraught that Gizmodo is happily celebrating the birthdays of both Hitler and Joey Lawrence so openly and brazenly. Especially on the day in which the UN racism conference kicks off and is being boycotted by several countries over what they perceive to be a slight against Israel.

@planetarian: That's because Dell keyboards are put together using slave labor and the tears of those trampled beneath its jack-booted overlords.

@planetarian: Dell keyboards are flimsy pieces of crap... you want sturdy get an IBM Model M, those f**kers are indestructible and carry plenty of heft.
