There are tons of people with circulation problems who have cold hands and feet.  My wife is sometimes one of them.  The keyboard Radiates heat which means the heat rises from under the keys, it doesn't heat that actual keys.  So as long as your hands are over the keyboard, they will be getting heat.  Just like when you heat your hands over the fire.<br><br>This would be great for someone with those types of problems who types a lot.  I'd hope it has some sort of on/off sensor so it will turn itself off if the PC isn't on.  Wouldn't want to forget about it and have a warped keyboard because you forgot and left it on High all weekend.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 23rd 2007 8:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Heated keyboard keeps fingers toasty whilst typing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/heated-keyboard-keeps-fingers-toasty-whilst-typing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/heated-keyboard-keeps-fingers-toasty-whilst-typing/</guid><description><![CDATA[The website says:<br><br>Energy efficiency: 20 watts<br><br>They don't know what efficiency means obviously.
