Why has nobody thought of this before?

Ah, mother sun: you give us maize, you give us warmth, and in the summer you give us just a little color, not too much, just maybe a little around the shoulders so we look like we went outside. Now you can charge our keyboards!

The $80 Logitech K750 is the first solar keyboard built of fully recyclable plastic. The device has a set of solar panels along the top edge and even includes a luxmeter to tell how well things are charging. It charges in sunlight and even under a standard bulb.

If you’re familiar with Logitech keyboards they usually last for months – if not years – on the same battery. This, however, will ensure that you don’t go dark in the midst of a marathon blogging session. It is also wireless.

Brilliant!!!

Pants with built in keyboard and mouse

Wow, you’d have to be really nerdy to wear these keypants/keyboard trousers. I do a lot of nerdy things but wearing these pants is kind of beyond the pale. That said, how awesome are they? and the built-in mouse? Check out the close-up. Did you notice there are speakers built into the knees?

Great way to pick up girls at a LAN party.

But seriously, I think I'd have to kick the person's ass that I saw wearing these on general principal alone. But that's just me...I have anger issues.

Logitech's new wireless desktop

Logitech has just released the Logitech MX5500 Revolution Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse. I found a review over at BlueTomorrow.com. This mouse ans keyboard combo really intrigues me. For at least 2 years, I was using a Logitech Keyboard and a wireless mouse and got my MS Entertainment Desktop 7000 as a way of getting rid of a lot of wires and adding bluetooth to my desktop so I could easily sync with my phone. The Logitect DiNovo always held my interest until I looked at the pricetag and then reality always set in. But this combo is coming in at around $150, and it will go down in price. I do miss having the numeric key pad on my keyboard, but I do like the fact that it does take up less desk space. One feature that looks like a geeks dream is the little LCD screen that has a zillion functions it seems (I imagine that some are completely useless, but I hope that there are people hacking new uses for it as I type this).

iMac stand: form and function

If you're an iMac or Apple Studio Display owner then you'll see the immediate appeal of this LowKey Stand from Macessity. Constructed of 0.1085-inch thick steel "power-coated" to match your rig, it neatly hides your new slim Apple keyboard from view. There's also a powered 4-port USB port up front which helps to offset the stand's $60 price a tad.



I'm not exactly a Mac person, but this looks like a great product

RIM Files For Patent On New Blackberry Keyboard

If you've been blowing your friends away with how fast you can text on a Blackberry, you're about to take it up a notch. RIM has filed for a patent on the newest angular style keyboard that is said to improve accuracy and speed with a more natural feel. The design is similar to the ergonomic keyboards that most desktop users are working with.

No word on when (or if) this design might make it to the streets, but RIM wanted to make sure that no one else takes the idea.

Apple Keyboard Malfunctioning?

It looks as though a few people who have the new Apple keyboard are having trouble. Notably with the F3 and F4 function keys, these are for the Expose and Dashboard functions.

But there seems to be a work around.

If you have a new Apple keyboard and are having trouble, let us know what kind in the comments area.

Moshi Celesta Laptop-Style Stylish Keyboard

I love my laptop keyboard!!!

Only because of the way the keys respond while typing, and how quieter and faster you can hit the keys. The problem is when I have to use a desktop, I don't have this option. So I have to clickity clack at 90db with a clunky IBM or what ever crappy keyboard that work provides me.

No more!!!

The Moshi Celesta keyboard has two things going for it. One, it looks very nice with its blue LEDs and "diamond-cut" aluminum frame. Two, it has laptop-styled keys to make typing quieter and faster.

Most laptop-styled keyboards don't have the numpad.....this does. It also supports OS X's function keys and comes with a black pouch if you want to travel with it. But for a price of $120, only the people who use their computers a lot can justify buying the Celesta.

Check it out after the jump. [moshi]
