As far as keyboard goes, I have changed about 2 in 10 years which last pretty long. SteelSeries released 7G Pro that would last over 50 million keystrokes! Say you type 13698 keystrokes per day, this keyboard will last you over 10 years! Now let’s reveal the price… it costs $150usd.

Now it brings a mathematical question, an average keyboard costs about $10-15. Would it be better off buying an ordinary keyboard?

Logitech unveiled the Logitech diNovo Mini palm-sized keyboard with media remote and ClickPad at the CES 2008.

We all know that wood is one of the more expensive materials compared to plastic. For just $20, you can get a “wooden” (partially wooden?) USB keyboard and optical mouse at Geeks.com. This seems to be a good deal since we’ve showcased the Wooden DIY keyboard and the price tag is ~ $200. If you’re environmental friendly person or your computer desk and chair are made of wood, this is one product you might want to grab! However, a reader informed me that the keys on the keyboard are wood colored plastic. We have zoomed in the keyboard for you to judge this

Now this isn’t exactly the most environmentally friendly of all computer peripherals, but at least it is more biodegradable than your standard plastic 101-key keyboard. Hailing from Japan, this DIY wood keyboard requires you to actually cut each key out yourself, placing them in the order of your choice. Granted, you would probably choose the QWERTY layout but the weirder ones among you would probably settle for DVORAK or something more original. I suppose this wood was not cut from virgin forests, so don’t feel too guilty about picking one of these €200 DIY wood keyboards up. At the very least, you can burn it to keep you warm during the cold winter months especially after oil has just breached the psychologically important $90/barrel mark.

It’s a little maid’s costume with an 85-key USB keyboard top, and it’s made to order in sizes that will accommodate even the most voluminously endowed office mate. Submissive Japanese babe not included.

Ever get sick of using that tiny little keyboard on your Blackberry? Tired of scribbling out things into your Palm Tungsten?

It sounds like you need a portable keyboard. But the majority of portable keyboards are bulky, cumbersome and more trouble than they’re worth to take along with you.

Today we bring you the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This keyboard is a lightweight projector that can be used with a Bluetooth-compatible smartphone or PDA. Once you’re ready to use it, you connect via Bluetooth and you tap the projected images of the keys and the Virtual Keyboard knows which keys you’ve typed and responds instantly with audible clicks. I don’t know how it works - but it’s pretty damn cool that it knows not only what keys you’re “pushing”, but to also add the sound of a clicking key to that motion. You can also adjust the key sensitivity.Measuring a tiny 1″L x 1 3/8″W x 3 5/8″H and weighing in at a mere 2.3oz., the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard will fit nicely in a purse or a bag without taking up too much valuable space. Includes AC adapter, carrying case and software on MiniCD. Requires Bluetooth device with HID and SPP profiles.
