I recently broke one of my keyboard keys. I was trying to get all the dust and gunk out from underneath it, so I pried it loose and the stupid little thing broke! It makes me wish that how these keyboards hold together were designed differently. Magnets maybe? Yes, that would work splendidly.

Reminiscent of Microsoft’s age-old design, here comes Logitech’s Cordless Desktop Wave and Wave keyboard described as "innovative." Really?

Compatible with both Windows and OS X, it has the usual features of programmable hot keys, cushioned palm rest, and all for $49.99 this October. The Cordless Desktop Wave keyboard / laser mouse combo will retail for $89.99

All I want to know is how long the letters on the keys last! I go through keyboards so fast because the letters wear off within the first month. I cannot believe they don’t have the wherewithal to keep the letters on. I have given up on expensive models and stick to cheap, cheap, cheap.

I personally don’t see my Xbox 360 as a Messenger device, but if I did, I’d snap one of these up in an instant. It’s just as it appears: it clicks on the Xbox 360 controller and provides a QWERTY keyboard for texting (and, I imagine, other keyboard-centric functions). At $30, I might buy one just for the heck of it.

I see myself as an utter failure in life, because unlike the folks at Phantom Entertainment, I can’t get millions and millions of dollars on a consistent basis while providing nothing for it. Heck, I can’t get $10 bucks and a latte without producing something of value. But, this time, the Phantom folks promise–really, they promise!–to be releasing something, even it it’s not even remotely like what they started with. They say they’re aligned with Alienware and IONE Technologies, and so maybe this is for real. Key word: maybe.
