DarFon exhibits luminous keyboard, giggling mouse at Computex
There are literally thousands of wacky gadget variations floating around Computex, but one that's caught the eye of our Chinese counterparts is this snazzy DarFon keyboard. As you can tell by the picture above, the keys sport some luminous qualities, and the board is constructed from lacquered metal, said to give it a "burnish." Apparently the company was also showing off a mouse which would giggle when you touch it and gets upset if someone you "don't like" emails you (don't ask us how it knows). Creepy? Yes. Are we ready to pre-order? Definitely. More pics after the break.

This says it all:
The gossip is out of Liaoyi Liao, as objects, is a stranger, is not the same industry I do not know. Perhaps some nosy, readers already know, perhaps to leave, perhaps for the truth, I do not know. In short, the most clear, is to side, but they said I will not.
Eight Diagrams 1:
Shortly after, the high-T, the keyboard will be a luminous. The first started, there is another Dell, I forgot, it is like Asus. No accidents, many T plant will do the LED keyboard (Orz, not my dishes)

Thin, bright, metal frame, Apple will think of a keyboard to do! Ah, we should not speak so complex, a word that Apple and the design of the common people.

@ Chuckles McGee:
the key icons are also centered on the keys like on an Apple keyboard. Regular standard keyboards have the icons on the top left while Apple keyboard icons are centered. i do like the indentation to the keys and its definitely a welcome to have more keyboards with USB ports.

All I want is a nice compact keyboard like this one but with full n-key rollover... why's it SO DAMN HARD to find?

Dammit! This keyboard puts my DiNovo Edge to shame :(

The purple keyboard looks like an Alienware Back lit keyboard for their new laptop line...
Gregory Kimball @ Jun 4th 2008 11:59AM
So touching the mouse makes it happy and getting some emails makes it sad. Is there a way to make it angry?
No thanks, DarFon. I don''t want to get killed in my sleep by an input device.

The black apple-keyboard-look-alike keyboard looks nice. Although Blue lights would have been much better imo :)
clearThumbtack @ Jun 4th 2008 1:43PM
I like the keyboard, except that it has a number pad.
Vidit Bhargava @ Jun 4th 2008 2:06PM
