PureShape is a minimalist mousepad for Apple’s Magic Mouse, inspired by Dieter Rams – Keyboards & Mice

No more squeaks Apple’s Magic Mouse might be a sleek piece of kit, but that doesn’t mean it gets on with your desk. Perhaps your cursor randomly goes nuts, annoying noises emanate from beneath your clawed hand, or there’s more friction than your wrist (and desk, for that matter) would prefer. In which case, PureShape […]

Keys are good. If you consider the typing experience on modern notebooks an insult to your fingers, you might like the sound of Kira ($179 – or $259 for the metal-framed version) – and we mean that literally. Closer in nature to a typewriter than a MacBook keyboard, Kira’s chunky keys use a range of […]

Have you ever turned your keyboard upside down to find enough crumbs to form a whole new sandwich dropping to your desk like some kind of disgusting, non-festive snow globe?

But when it comes to penning your memoirs – glasses right on the tip of […]

Review: Armageddon Stealth Raptor MKA-7 keyboard – Peripherals – Keyboards & Mice

A good keyboard, but pricey. Despite the aggressively militaristic/sci-fi name, the Stealth Raptor is actually quite an understated keyboard, eschewing the frills and blinking lights of the high end gaming keyboard market. It’s a fairly basic looking slab of black plastic without much in the way or ornamentation or excess aside from two selector buttons […]

Razer’s new BlackWidow Ultimate keyboard can survive a splash – Peripherals – PC – Keyboards & Mice

Clumsy gamers rejoice. They say three things are certain in this life: death, taxes and – at some point – knocking a full can of Coke all over your keyboard.

Review: Logitech Craft keyboard – Keyboards & Mice

A beautifully engineered wireless keyboard, and the dial is handy for creative tasks. When you’re charging this much for a keyboard, the marketing team has its work cut out. While an official Australian RRP hasn’t been announced, the US price gives a fair indication it won’t be budget. See that knob embedded in the top […]
