Bajca Emoticon Keyboard Doesn't Come With a Hammer, Sadly
I see this dumbtastic egg-case-style Bajca emoticon keyboard and the only thing I wish is that somebody actually brings it to market, sends it to me to test, and then I get a hammer to smash all those stupid emoticons like it was a Whac-a-Mole game. Maybe it's just me and you will love its design—which admittedly is pretty but not very useful. That's until they tell you you can turn the emoticons into jewelry beads. More »

Logitech Brings Anorexic Wireless DiNovo Keyboard To Macs For $99

The peripheral features a full-size layout, nineteen shortcut keys for direct access to Mac programs, an integrated number pad, no cords (using 2.4GHz wireless) and a 3-year battery life. We reviewed the diNovo Edge keyboard in August and loved it. This one, at $99, is about $60 cheaper without sacrificing too many of the features of its more expensive bigger brother. More »

The Phantom Entertainment folks have paid for their first shipment of manufactured lapboards, and they'll be posting a delivery time frame soon.

The AT&T Quickfire will be heating up the competition with the T-Mobile Sidekick when it is released on November 10 this year.

The Quickfire includes a touch screen, full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3G, a music player, and GPS, and will come in orange, lime and silver. [Engadget Mobile via cnet]

Datamancer Ergo Steampunk Keyboard Makes Writing Victorian Fanfics Slightly Less Uncomfortable
The original Datamancer Steampunk keyboard was quite steampunky in its presentation, and VERY steampunky in its price ($1000 to $1500). In the second round, Datamancer decided to do away with the straight edges and make the keyboard both brassy and rounded, two changes that would make any piece of hardware more...you know. It's made from an IBM Model M-15 split keyboard and is a one-off commissioned by a female client, so unless you call him up and promise him about 1000-1500 real (not steampunk) dollars, I wouldn't count on getting one this Xmas.
