Deck LED-Backlit Keyboard

Juniper Foo | Aug 30, 2005

Ever since The Fast And The Furious revved its way onto big screens with cool-sounding stuff like Nitrox and undercar neon lights that make your vehicle's undercarriage glow in the dark, it's been nifty to own a piece of modified hardware that says individuality. Here's one that won't bust your pocket but looks just as cool as those undercarriage neon accents. Each key, frame and gap on this keyboard is backlit, and claims to be good for 200,000 hours or about 22 years of non-stop usage. Cooler still in the dark.

Check out some colors:

Price: US$99.99 - US$119.99
Availability: Think Geek
Device: Keyboard
Basic specs: 82-key layout with individually backlit keys, switchable to 7 layers of brightness, support for WinXP/2000/ME/98, Mac OS9 and OSX, choice of four colors

AquaPoint Waterproof Optical Mouse

Juniper Foo | Aug 16, 2005

iKey has been making a splash in the news recently with its new industrial-grade waterproof mouse, the AquaPoint, which simply loves water. Which is all well and good, save that it's rather fruitless without a waterproof laptop to go with this. But for those with ultra sweaty palms or who desire a rodent that's able to take on all kinds of Chinese water torture, this mouse will assuredly never squeal. The AquaPoint is said to be impervious to splashing, spraying, corrosive liquids and a flat-out soak in the tub. Now that's what we call a Mighty Mouse.
