OMG — a Keyboard For Blondes

Posted by samzenpus on from the this-looks-hard dept.

MojoKid writes "The keyboard as we know it just got a makeover. What started initially as a gag apparently got so much positive feedback that the creators of the Keyboard for Blondes decided to turn it into a real product. The Keyboard for Blondes is a real keyboard. It has all the normal functionality you would expect from a traditional keyboard. It has 103 keys, is USB based, and works with both Windows PCs and Macs. As to why it is pink, the Keyboard for Blondes Website explains, 'Pink is the new black!' And being a blonde is not necessarily as prerequisite for owning one either, as the site further offers, 'this keyboard is for anyone who has ever had a blonde moment or ... two, has a good sense of humor and likes to have fun! Afterall [sic] being blonde is not just your hair color.'"

      No, because it has special blond buttons tard! Like OMG, did you like even read the source article?

  2. Photoshopped by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    That image has clearly been photoshopped to be pink. You can tell by the shadows under the keys. They should be darker (unless of course there's a light source underneath them).

    That keyboard will match my hair nicely.

    I know that keyboard is intended to be a gag gift, but if they were to add macro/multimedia buttons, I'd buy one.

      FTFA,

      In addition to its distinctive pink color, a unique attribute of the Keyboard for Blondes are the "fun" sayings on 64 of the keys, such as "Oops!" on the Delete key, "The Big One: 'I Need My Space' Key" on the spacebar, or "Yes! I want it!" on the Enter key. A number of the keys also act as special texting shortcuts, such as "OMG" on the O key, "LOL" on the L key, and "XOXO" on the X key.

      Additional "fun" keys include:

      * TAB = "Useless Key"
      * Tilde/Tick = "Any Key"
      * Caps Lock = "Warning size XXL letters"
      * Shift = "Smart Blonde Button"
      * Esc = "No!"

  8. Hell Kitten by linuxwrangler · · Score: 1

    Pink keyboard? Big deal. I was at the range yesterday and they had pink rifles. Gun makers are catering to the female market (http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/29437539.html) precluding the need for custom work like the Hell Kitten AR-15 (http://blog.riflegear.com/archive/2007/12/26/hello-kitty-ar-15---evil-black-rifle-meets-cute-and.aspx).

    Quite a few women and girls at the range, too. Though none of them had pink guns.
