Solid Year's ACK-2230UMSP multimedia keyboard touts webcam, speakerphone

We've seen webcams attached to a bevy of unusual accessories, and we've witnessed keyboards that bend and slide in ways no board should, but USB guru Solid Year has combined both of these input peripherals into one handy device to tackle your wildest of multimedia dreams. The ACK-2230UMSP sports a mostly typical keyboard layout, complete with the English alphabet and full numeric keypad, but adds a dash of uniqueness by throwing in a flipout VGA webcam on the left side, volume slider, speakerphone, side-mounted headset ports, and even a bevy of multimedia hotkeys for use with multimedia / Skype functions. Of course, we hope you're digging the color scheme and key layout (including the wee backspace), as it's the only option you'll find right now, and to the bane of many, the Caps Lock key is also alive and well here. Unfortunately, there's no word on price or availability, but don't be surprised to see this one rebranded somewhere down the line.

Nothing like a upward camera shot of the face to enhance any lack of beauty.

Not the best idea, in my mind... I'll keep my webcam on the top of my monitor, thanks.

On my desk at home, my keyboard sits on a sliding shelf. It normally stays slid under the desk surface, especially when I'm using my webcam and don't have to type. This wouldn't work for me.

Definately has the identical shape to my Logitech Keyboard:

I wanted to say the same thing.
"Wait a minute, that's like my Logitech"

If it pops up unexpectedly...it`s just Homeland Security.
