Have You Ever Broken a Keyboard By Typing Too Hard?

Lam is a disgusting person, and this is his disgusting keyboard. He claims the damage was done by “typing too hard.” I claim that he’s just a dirty man. [Blam: Idiot, its not buildup, its the keys being worn down.] Have You Ever Broken a Keyboard By Typing Too Hard? ( surveys) Let’s see how…

White Chocolate Keyboard Most Definitely Melts In Your Hands

In a parallel universe, keyboards are made of white chocolate and PCs are solid toffee. Motherboards are generally graham cracker, a bit flimsy, yes, then topped in icing circuits and sugar plum processors. The mouse is not a mouse at all but a Chunky bar that melts to conform to one’s hand. And the monitor,…

A study by The National Labor Committee, which is a worker’s rights group that actually is not associate with the government, found…

Completely White Apple Keyboard Looks Nice, Is Bad for Beginner Typists

Designer Steve Lee didn’t really care for the new Apple keyboards, what with their use of two colors. So he decided to make his a little more…sparse. Since he’s a touchtyper, like any true nerd, he didn’t need to see the letters. One can of white spraypaint later, and he has, as he calls it,…

Hello Kitty Keyboard Has Me Reaching for a Hammer

Hello Kitty will swallow your soul! And now that we have that out of the way, we can take a look at this incredibly loud looking Hello Kitty keyboard, which will also, incidentally, swallow souls.

Asus EEE-branded Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Look Surprisingly Stylish

While Asus has some interesting products, I’d never expect the company to win a design award. That said, Asus’ wireless keyboard and mouse for the EEE Box look pretty nice, if not terribly original.

Backlit Wireless Keyboard is Probably Too Small To Use (But it Glows, People!)

Brando’s latest puts its last tiny keyboard effort to (very mild) shame with wireless connectivity and full backlighting. As ridiculous as this thing is, the new features almost make it practical. https://gizmodo.com/this-brando-super-tiny-keyboard-could-be-smaller-in-my-5053467 Measuring up at 170x81x15mm, the 56-key unit isn’t going to do you much good for banging out more than a few short emails…

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…

Electromagnetic Scanners Can Detect What You’re Typing Right Now

It’s obvious to assume that your henpecking on a wireless keyboard could be intercepted by a RF-snooping ne’er-do-well, but what about your wired or laptop keyboard—that should be safe, right? Nope. Researchers at Lausanne, Switzerland’s Security and Cryptography Laboratory (part of the EPFL school) have demonstrated here that 12 different keyboards, bought from 2001 until…
