Microsoft’s Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is their thinnest ever
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Peripherals, Wireless / WiFi,
Clearly, revealing the Courier tablet prototype was not enough for Microsoft, as they have topped themselves once again. This time, the company produced their skinniest keyboard to date, and this Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is totally wireless.
There is no Bluetooth dongle included, so make sure your computer has Bluetooth built-in before making the purchase. The keyboard is powered by 3 AAA batteries, while the numeric keypad takes just one AAA. Both will be available in October, $90 for the combo, and $45 for just the number pad, if that’s all you want.

Thanko Keyboard Gives Warm Hands While Typing
Posted by Aaron Zollo Categories: Accessories, USB, Peripherals,
Thanko has previously released a keyboard to keep our arms and hands cool while typing. They now have a new keyboard which can warm our extremities via USB. The new keyboard is prepared for warm and cool weather in that it incorporates three fans which can cool, but also can provide some toasty heat as well. The keyboard is currently in Japan and if you need to have this keyboard for yourself, you’ll need to find a decent importer as there is no mention of it going on sale in the U.S. any time soon.

Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LCD Keyboard
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Accessories, USB, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
Lusting after an Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard? Don’t have the $1600 to drop on such a luxurious - albeit “OMGcooooool” - peripheral, especially when you already have a keyboard that (I’m assuming) works? We just might have found you a happy medium. The Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LCD keyboard retails for a comparatively bargain price of $199.99 (tack on an extra $35 if you need a keypad, though that won’t light up). You won’t get the awesome program-specific key layouts like the Optimus features, but you will get the pretty colors and soft lighting, all of which are programmable with the included software. ThinkGeek is currently the only place in the States that the Luxeed is available, so get those credit cards ready!

A Wintertime Treat: Warmkeyboard Heats Things Up
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Accessories, USB, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
Cube farm dwellers, say goodbye to stiff fingers. Uncontrollable climate control systems can often leave us with numb digits, something that all of the “Cozy Legs” heaters, blankets and trips to the coffee machine in the world can’t fix. Finally, someone has tried.
Whether you file this internally as just another USB accessory or a legitimate peripheral, Warmkeyboard has the potential to be useful in more than just the “inputting characters” way that your run-of-the-mill keyboard is. Like your run-of-the-mill keyboard, it’s a standard 104-key plug and play keyboard with media hotkeys. However, unlike your standard issue keyboard it has heating elements underneath the keys that keep your fingers nice and toasty while you work.
Powered by both the USB plug and an AC adapter (unfortunately you can’t type AND be warm without two power sources), Warmkeyboard can be yours for $49.99.
