Re article: I don't quite get the product. I've never known anyone to cover their keyboard at the end of the day (so why would you need usb ports on it, since you would probably be accessing the computer and wanting the keyboard anyway) but this doesn't seem strong enough to support the weight of a monitor atop it so you can't slide the keyboard under it when you leave for the end of the day.

.....and why is it in a pack of three? I just... don't get the product I'm afraid]]>Jan 20th 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/

What I don't get is why somebody would spend $42 on this just to cover up a dirty keyboard when they could spend the same or a little less and get a new keyboard. ]]>Jan 20th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/Jan 20th 2010 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/Jan 20th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/Jan 20th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/

I too would love to be able to slide my keyboard back, and use that area for writing. Unless you have an L-shaped desk... your keyboard surface and writing surface are usually the same place.

However... I won't be purchasing this thing. But it will prompt me to built something similar. I need my monitor raised up a few inches anyway... and sliding the keyboard back to free up some space is a good bonus too!]]>Jan 20th 2010 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/Jan 20th 2010 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/20/the-space-bar-sleekly-covers-up-your-grimy-keyboard-adds-a-few/

In general, I find the writing on Engadget to be perfectly fine. It's a blog. I really don't expect much. But Murph's articles are consistently riddled with errors and abuses that impair the flow. So frequently, in fact, that I may take up haranguing him as a new hobby.
