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.

Butteryfly Personal Heater

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Design, Smart Home,

Okay, so in a few weeks we are expecting to hear from a bunch of readers who decided to brave the cold in order to be one of the lucky few to nab a PS3 at launch. However, why suffer frostbitten fingers if you don’t have to? This is where the Butterfly Heater comes in. You fill this bad boy with a little lighter fluid, and it goes to work pumping out warm air through it’s butterfly pattern stitched front. Yeah, it’s a little more girly than we would have hoped for, but for an $18 device that will stay warm for a solid 25 hours, we think we can handle that. You can grab two for $30, and then you’ll be the envy of the line at your local Best Buy.
