ElectroJoe’s Bendiboard Retroboard Invaders keyboard is definitely a cute relief from putting on your fingers on the good old usual keyboard. Cool feature that makes this one a sure shot pick me up is the fact that it is highly flexible, dustproof and spill proof. You just need to roll it up and stuff in your bag if carrying it along is on your mind and if you happen to spill your drink over it…you have no need to worry…just wipe it and it’s ready to go again! If you are already craving to put your hands on these invaders to play your next round of space invader game, then the ElectroJoe’s Bendiboard Retroboard Invaders keyboard is available for £19.99 (appx. $39 USD).

boynq_swing_ usb HUb

USB hub is the need of the hour when so many attachments and applications are supposed to be worked in a single PC. But I just don’t like those too technical USB hubs. But the all new Boynq Swing USB Hub ended my search of a good looking yet functional USB hub. This one in all black is not only sleek but spacious too. Boynq can suspend as many as four USB drives under its graceful arch.
If that was all about looks, the features are no less competitive including DC power for multiple high-powered USB devices and offers protection at the same time.
A cool combo of a beautiful design and technological functionality makes Boynq Swing USB Hub a welcome break on any desk. The Newton’s cradle like USB hub can be yours for somewhere around $25.

Get innovative: Get Jupiter mouse, the accelerometer mouse
Posted in Computer, Computer accessory, Designer Gadgets, Mouse on 15 July 2008

Jupiter Mouse accelerometer woodden mouse

Now we are going to talk about a mouse, but strictly for those who are indeed dead bored of the scrawling thing under their palm and are ready to experiment to the hilt. Check out the unique Jupiter mouse. Yes, it goes looks like a tiny miny wooden avatar of a ping-pong ball but it is actually a mouse.
Now coming to the functionality of this innovative version of the good old mouse, You bet it’s damn good. You just need to tilt it and the direction and velocity of the tilt will determine the movement of the cursor in this spherical wonder.
Even the Jupiter mouse rests under your palm but is better than the old concept since it brings a sense of novelty in that otherwise dud and dead job of scrawling and clicking. Designed by the minds working at Actbrise Electronics, the Jupiter mouse is handmade from Chinese flowering ash in Japan’s rural Gunma prefecture and is called so because of the natural wood grain swirls that it uses and of course the click button that resembles the largest planet’s famous spot.
A little bit of innovation and experimentation adds into the charm and breaks the monotony of a job…and the Jupiter mouse does exactly the same…hope you agree.
Price: $239

No key keyboard

Delicate, transparent, elegant, subtle and classy are a few adjectives that we usually associated with a fine creation of glass. How about loading it with a great deal of technology, unique and intelligent designing and an equally intelligent concept to make a dazzling glass keyboard?
Yes, check out Kong Fanwen’s ‘No-key Keyboard’ and you’ll know what we are talking about. When flat-surface is spinning the world with every other cellphone, TV or ipod going flat, the no-key keyboard is another step towards the flat and touch-screen revolution but in something like a keyboard which was never thought of being ‘key-less’!
No key keyboard
This one is the world’s first flattest full size QWERTY keyboard to date that features just a glass surface, camera and lighting! Yes, the all new alternative keyboard concept will be be packed with the latest motion capture technology to sense and watch your fingers pressing the keys to key-in just the right messages!
I just can’t imagine typing on a keyboard without even pressing the keys! Must say- the power of touch is working well! Though, other creations in the world of keyboards including the giant keyboard or the mobile keyboard were no less impressive.

PC Dart Game

If you are fed up of looking at your PC the whole day and recreation for you is limited to those computer games at max since your job doesn’t give you the flexibility to move out and relax then take a chill pill! I’m saying this as here is another computer game (don’t get irritated) with a difference. This one gives you mobility too. We are talking about the computer connected PC-Dart Game. All you need to get the game in your office is a USB port on your computer and 120€.
With this much at your end, all you need to do is have fun by installing the dart board on the wall and connection in the PC. As you hit the target, your screen will display the score to keep the competition levels high!
Not just this, it also features a number of gaming modes to keep you glued to the game even after frequent plays.
Initially the game will be available only in Japan and we hope to get hands on it in other countries as well. After all, recreation cannot be limited to a particular country.
