These are the only keys a true pirate needs to navigate the web. Shit… Mom’s coming? Avast, avast!

Try to do an ollie on this bad boy without breaking any keys. Now that sounds like an interesting new challenge for the X-Games.

The Skatekeyboard combines the art of skating with the geekery of keyboarding. Can you skateboard and type a complete sentence with your feet at the same time? Tony Hawk has a new art to perfect now.

A great edible gift for a Panda, not such a great edible gift for Panda pet owners. The 106-key Bamboo Keyboard and Mouse from Brando connects to your computer via its USB port and offers support for Window 2000/XP/Vista and Linux.

If you live in a heavy Panda bear population, you might want to either lock the keyboard up tight or mask its scent with your (hey, we don’t judge, Ok, maybe we do judge a little bit) or your mom’s perfume or something. You can purchase both keyboard and mouse individually or you can buy them together for $52.

My girlfriend will use this bag whether she likes it or not.

The Keybag is a purse made of keyboard keys, so for once you’ll know exactly how to press her buttons. Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all night.

Not everyone is in the financial position to buy a keyboard with illuminated keys. That shit can get expensive. Macbooks might come stock with illuminated keys, but my Dell POS sure as hell doesn’t. What if I’m high off my ass in the dark and can’t remember my QWERTY hand placement? Not a pleasant situation.

These Glowing Keyboard Stickers, made of high quality florescent print, eliminates the need to buy a brand new keyboard just to have a little illumination in your life. They reflect any ambient light, even the glow of your monitor, providing an awesome, and more importantly, cheap alternative.

Many Blackberry users have been holding out on the iPhone because of the device’s lack of a real feel keyboard. The iTwinge adds an actual tactile keyboard to the phone, while making it look uglier than any Blackberry ever released.

Big thumbs got you down? The touchscreen of the iPhone has caused some serious issues for some users who have larger than average fingers. I’ve never had much of a problem thanks to the phone’s auto-correct feature, but I’ve heard that large thumbed users have trouble pressing letters on the touch keyboard, their plump digits leading to double button presses and incorrect letters. iTwinge slips right onto the bottom of the iPhone and seamlessly adds a tactile touch to the device for around $30.

I’m Mixmaster GEARhead and I’m here to say, I use the microSAMPLER ev-ery-day. Not really, but I would if I could afford it! Specifically designed for taking your show on the road, the microSampler is a compact and portable sampling keyboard. And it’s made by Korg, so it’s gotta be good.

Grab samples from an in-line, the built-in gooseneck mic or even through the included iPhone / iPod dock. Samples can be attached to every key on the keyboard with helpful LEDs illuminating to show the sample’s status. But compact goodness doesn’t come cheap. 500 buckaroos and this bad boy can accompany you to your nephew’s bar mitzvah or at whatever event you’re planning to perform.

The brands and logos of the major corporations have become just as recognizable to us as our own alphabet, thanks to modern commercial advertising. Each letter has its own major brand and corresponding logo.

The Brand Keyboard by Ignacio Pilotto replaces the QWERTY keys with company logos, the company names beginning with the same letter as the intended key. Something tells me some kids these days might learn to type better if their keyboards looked something like this. And yes, that’s both a Microsoft and an Apple key.

As geeks, we have slightly skewed and sometimes inappropriate ways of handling stress. Most of the time we like to mix in some humor with our mourning. It helps to lighten the mood.

This keyboard mod memorial renames the “Caps Lock” key the “Billy Mays” key. Your loud, boisterous voice will forever live on in our hearts and keyboards, Billy.

Normally, when you think of Vizio, you think of decent plasma and LCD television sets that cost about half the price of a Sony BRAVIA. Now there’s even more incentive to run out and buy a Vizio: web apps. The company announced that it’ll be bringing Facebook, Twitter and plenty of others to its new line of Vizio XVT HDTVs. But that’s not all: Netflix, Amazon VOD, Rhapsody, Vudu, Blockbuster, Revision3, Showtime, Flickr and Pandora will all be available on said HDTV sets. That’s a huge incentive that really blurs the line between computer and TV.

You have to see the remote, though. Hit the jump to view Vizio’s new remote that has a built-in keyboard.
