A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice

robyn217 writes "Hey, KBs and mice aren't the most glamorous hardware in your system but there's no reason for them to be dull. I spent the last month testing out a new keyboard and mouse every day; covering everything from strange one-handed KBs to cool gesture-sensing pads to tacky ball-based mice. Check it out if you're thinking about trading up." Strictly one-paragraph blurbs here (I wish she'd talked about each keyboard's tactile feedback, and long-term comfort on the oddball designs), but if you need to do a visual scan of current offerings (many wireless), you can work toward a new mouse by clicking your way through.

    covering everything from strange one-handed KBs

    There used to be an old joke about this; Build a one-handed keyboard and the world will beat a path to your door.

    The joke was interchangeable with `left handed mouse for right handed people`.

    And as long as we're in innuendo land, it's appropriate to add that if you build it, they will come. :)
