Ok so we go from the lenovo wireless keyboard to this piece of shit, where the hell did the other post go to.
What happened to the article on the lenove keyboard?
Was wondering that myself...
IDK why they took it down, but here's the Flickr link. It looks 5000% better than this POS.

@MC
Actually it looks over 9000% better than that POS.
It's also 9000% bigger.

that's the link to the other post, idk why it's not on the main page though.
YES! Finally a keyboard i could carry around in my pocket.
In your XXL cargo pants, that is.
I dont know why you would want to its not like its bluetooth so you can hook it up to anything
I have slacks with pockets big enough for this.
All you'd need now is an arm gauntlet to hold it and a massive computer screen.
Pip-boy 3000?
who the heck would want this over that now gone lenovo keyboard
maybe people that have had an arm amputated. Compact keyboards like this are popular in disability community.
oh sure make me seem like a bad person
If it had Bluetooth it would actually be useful for those with PDA phones.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Why not squeeze in Bluetooth? Honestly. Brainstorming there must suck.
Why cant they get it right.... from keyboards with no backlight to ones that look as bright as the sun; where is the inbetween! Bet its effing annoying when in a dark room watching a film
This is a field techs dream instead of hooking up a full keyboard when all you need to do is "hit enter to continue booting"
Where's the space bar?
form over function.....
........must be an apple product in disguise...
they are some impressive fingers
Iol, I just noticed how completely disproportionate they are!
The model is probably using their pinkie to level the keyboard making it look disproportionate. Regardless, the hand looks massive.
I'm pretty sure the person holding the keyboard has Arachnodactyly.
Their hand model is Tooms from the X-Files.
Impossible to type on yet apple's iphone touch based keyboard is given so much credit?
This whole blog is ridiculously full of bullshit.
Tihs kyeobard is aewosme in fcat i'm uisng it rgiht nwo.
I'm only interested if it has electrolytes. They're what plants, and I, crave.
classic!
Typing on this thing must be like driving an ICE CREAM TRUCK full of ANGRY BEES through a petting zoo, and I don't think it will make you WIN AT TYPING.
I'm glad I'm not alone here ;)
There is one word for this keyboard, and that is AWESOME.
...but it's not more awesome than BRAWNDO!
i dont get it, who uses it?
is it for desktop users? but every desktop has a keyboard, i dont understand who needs a tiny key board. unless we are talking about "little" people.
This is useful, I'd like it for typing crap on my HDTV (in a way PC) from the recliner without having a big ass keyboard.
I only wish the blacklight was red so it won't F up my night vision.
Mind you an OLED touchscreen keyboard would have been better but nobody else wants that.
I misread that as shuriken keyboards initially.
touch typing with a vengance
perfect, two small for regular typing and too big for thumb typing
exactly what I was gonna say
Man oh man those are some mutant fingures. That person must wear a size 18 shoe too
I think this will be lovely for my PlayStation 3 console. I like a small keyboard for chatting, and I usually play in the dark so the backlighting is a plus.
This is so stupid. It's too small to type on normally, but to big to 'thumb'. It manages to get right in between to that perfect zone of complete uselessness.
brawndo's got what plants crave, its got electrolytes.
idiocracy, ftw.
i hope the back ligth can be dimmed or else it will light Sao paulo, and plane will start land on my front door,
so apart from that god idea
I like the fact that the other "brando super tiny keyboard" article has positive connotations, but this one is negative. lawl.
Now we can enjoy the agony of typing on a netbook-sized keyboard without having to own a netbook.
