Hello Kitty keyboard boasts keys, cute, and cuddliness

Hello Kitty continues her insane branding-assault on all things tech, and we continue to weep with joy over each and every product. Okay, maybe not. Anyway, the latest eyeball exploder is a 108-keyed Japanese QWERTY keyboard, and it'll cost you $106.40 to add it to your collection.

Hello Kitty being covered on Engadget? The editors fall asleep tonight?

[LauraJuneTopolsky Posted Jan 24th 2009 12:32PM]

We have a long, glorious history of covering Hello Kitty branded tech.

Finally, a keyboard to match my armband!

Oh God no, Please anything but this.

I think we should get the right to downgrade articles....

[gp Posted Jan 24th 2009 6:47AM]

I think so too. But I wouldn't downgrade this one, because it is not a bad article: it's simply a brief and decent reporting about a gadget, with zero of the "Engadget attitude" that's nothing but ignorant and cringe-making. You may not like the gadget, but then what you'd need is a vote for gadgets, not articles.
Then again, I'm sure that if they had votes for articles, most of them would be low-ranked, and that'd mean most people don't like their much-loved attitude; which they of course don't want to change, and probably can't even if they would.

@giuliop
Rant much? Where is the button for "downgrading" an actual person? Sometimes low-ranking one particular comment is not enough...

@overdawg07

I see what you did there

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 5:17AM]

Bad gadget news is still gadget news.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 5:24AM]

if i put this beside my razer copperhead then i think it would have it for dinner

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 5:44AM]

I see what you did there...

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 7:20AM]

@R3loaded

I see what you did there

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 7:30AM]

Is there a single article on Engadget these days in which no one has said "I see what you did there"? Gettin' a little out of hand here guys.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 8:24AM]

@overdawg07
Maybe r3loaded wanted to make a snide comment on loopyoyo's moronic bragging and cheap joke, would make sense since the "I see what..." is usually used for acknowledging subtle jokes, at least I hope so on r3loaded's behalf.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 10:48AM]

@ Passerby - you noob

Ur prob just jealous u have a standard lame MS mouse... Anyway. If he said mouse and not made a point to say it was a copperhead, then the kitty would eat the mouse, and the whole joke would be ruined.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 11:30AM]

@Agent .25i
I got his stupid joke, else I wouldn't have written the comment above. And it is fucking cheap bragging, cause (btw. a word that seems to be missing in your reply) he claims his mouse is so "l33t" (or whatever craptastic expression you would use) that it would eat a kitty themed keyboard. OMG teh mouse ate teh cat!!1! lulz
Ah, yah and fuck you, too!

[superhobo Posted Jan 24th 2009 5:27AM]

$106.

Wow.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 5:40AM]

I like it. MEOW

[KosherTelephone Posted Jan 24th 2009 6:14AM]

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :3

[Gregorian Posted Jan 24th 2009 6:37AM]

I would love one of these in my office.
Trying to look all serious in front of a client while typing on a Hello Kitty keyboard.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 9:50AM]

I kinda want it just because it has kana on it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 10:21AM]

Nope. Can't do it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 11:12AM]

My g/f has Hello Kitty panties.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 11:24AM]

[Dado Posted Jan 24th 2009 11:50AM]

I could say "we know" but that would be gratuitous and childish.

[WK Posted Jan 24th 2009 11:56AM]

So... you're girlfriend is three?

Maximus just got its ass handed to it

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 7:08PM]

i lol'd

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 7:21PM]

I like Hello Kitty, but this is a little bit tacky, especially for the price :( Neat to have a keyboard with a folding cover, though.

What do the heart buttons do?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 24th 2009 7:43PM]

Seriously. It's so sickly sweet. It's time for me to take a puke. Raaaaaalph.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 25th 2009 2:36AM]

I can just picture my 16 year old sister loving this

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 25th 2009 4:32AM]

Hello, this keyboard will be loved by kids. It is a good tools for kids to love PCs.http://keywordarticles.co.cc/?p=6415
