We knew last month that it was on the way, but now it’s official. OCZ is now shipping its Sabre OLED gaming keyboard and it has a price. It’s an affordable $135.

You’ll get nine customizable OLED keys and most of the specs you expect from a gaming keyboard, like “super tactile” keys, macro configuration options and some cool blue LEDs.

Thanko wants to help keep your environment silent with an update to their Silent Keyboard with an EX attached on the end instead of a shhhhh. They’ve cut 16.5 dB from the sound of the keyboard and to them that equals $52.79.

Seems a tad pricey for any keyboard, silent or not. But if quiet is your bag and all of that clickety-clack is getting on your nerves, why not give it a shot? It will take your money just as quietly as it operates.

The Sabre OLED gaming keyboard takes Art Lebedev’s OLED-in-each-key keyboard concept and adapts it for the mass market to enjoy. But it does have a lower price and a less impressive feature set. Only the numpad keys feature the OLED magic and the keys don’t display color.

OCZ tries to make up for the lack of OLED keys with a layered shortcut system and blue LED sidelighting. In the end we can only state the ovious, that the Sabre is no Optimus Maximus. Then again, the Optimus is huge and hard to type on. So maybe it’s for the best.

Looking for a portable travel keyboard that can fold in half for easy transportation? The Goldtouch Go! keyboard does just that. But unlike other portable keyboards, this one is said to be ergonomically designed in order to reduce the risk of injury when using it for a long time.

Not only is it portable, but it’s also light weight, weighing less than 0.5kgs. It comes with built-in key covers to protect it against dust and dirt.

I can appreciate the fact that at times you really need an external keyboard. If all you are doing on your notebook while you are on the road is surfing the Web you may not need one. However, if you are working on the road an external keyboard can make a big difference in how quickly you can type long documents.

Econo-Keys has announced a new portable keyboard called the EK-76-TP that measures in at 8.91-inches x 3.54-inches x 0.38-inch and is compatible with Windows and Linux. The keyboard has 72 keys, 12 of which are function keys.

If you have the type of job where you type numbers into your computer all day, you no doubt appreciate having a separate numeric keypad that you can position anywhere on your desk. Such keypads have a few extra keys on there besides the numbers, typically an enter key and a few calculating keys.

Here’s how this one will blow your mind. Are you sitting down? This one has a spacebar! I know right? At long last you can add spaces to long strings of numbers. If 8 and 9 are not getting along, you can separate them until they chill and learn to live together. Numbers will never be the same again.

This wireless keyboard is from the future. It’s here to laugh at other keyboards that do not combine a multitouch trackpad with a ten-key number pad, which saves space and adds functionality. It’s available now for $69. Soon all keyboards will be like this.

The multitouch feature registers a series of two and three-finger presses for scrolling, zooming, window switching, tapping, and more. The entire keyboard is less than 3/4 of an inch thick and includes 18 hotkeys for launching various programs. The wireless USB adapter snaps into the bottom of the keyboard if you want to take it with you.

There are those who have never learned how to type. These people use a method called hunt n peck. Understandably, these people have a hard time trying to hunt and peck on a normal keyboard. With this keyboard, just hit the ABC key and it will switch to alphabetical order, making it easier to find the key you need.

For others in the house, those who actually learned how to type, just push the button again and you have a normal QWERTY keyboard. This keyboard also has keys that have common IM abbreviations for you super lazy types.

You might remember that Luxeed LED multicolor keyboard we featured last August. It’s back with a new update for 2009. Mac and Linux users can now get in on the action with the Luxeed U5 keyboard. It’s like a rave for your fingers.

It improves on the original Luxeed by adding multi-platform support. The Luxeed L5 also makes changes to the LED system to reduce ghosting. Plus they’ve added a firmware updater utility and improved the responsiveness of the keys.

Looks like Brando has seen the Sony Vaio P ads and had a light bulb go off over their heads. But unlike the Sony Vaio P, this tiny wireless keyboard actually fits in your back pocket. It measures just 430mm x 145mm x 28mm, and weighs 326g.

With this mini keyboard you’ll get 56 keys and 26 hot keys and even a built in trackball and scroll wheel. Why ever be without a keyboard again? Some specs include: Built-in optical trackball and scroll wheel, Powerful office function with 56 keys and 29 hotkeys, Operating distance: 10 meters, Operating frequency: 2.4GHz Radio Frequency, FN: Num lock change function, Supports Window Vista/XP/2000.

I always wondered why more modders don’t go for the Art Deco look. I mean Steampunk is awesome when done right, but Art Deco is just as cool. It figures that it would be Datamancer who bridges the gap. They created this awesome Steampunk keyboard, and now are into art deco. It’s about time too.

Hit the link for more pics. Take it all in visually. Then you tell me if Art Deco is making a comeback. If you have a pulse, then you’ll know that the answer is yes.

Do you suffer from cold wrists? Apparently it’s a real problem. So says IGM’s Heated Keyboard Wrist Pad. The idea is to sooth your bones while you type away. It’s powered by a USB port. You won’t have to suffer from cold wrists anymore.

And even if your wrists are fine, it probably feels nice in a cold office. It might just help relieve some pain from arthritis or Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Carbon fiber heating elements produce heat in the Far Infrared range which supposedly has some health benefits.

Illuminati. You’ve heard the conspiracy, now try the keyboard. They really missed out on a catchy tag-line with that one. OCZ Technology might be better known for making memory, but they’ve just announced a new addition to the company’s Alchemy line of peripherals with the Illuminati multimedia backlit keyboard series.

It’s the keyboard that’s hell-bent on world domination, population control, ushering in the new world order and they’re probably working with Aliens and abducting people too. Cause you know, the illuminati are like that. Actually in this case the name just implies that the keys themselves light up when they’re connected to your computer.

It may come as a shock to some Apple fanboys, but not everyone likes the look of the Apple keyboard. Some people may prefer something a bit more minimalist. Like plain white. That’s what Essell likes and so he decided to spray it white. Which, surprisingly looks pretty awesome.

If Apple keyboards went to heaven, this is what they would look like for sure. They would probably be floating like clouds and land under your fingertips when needed. I think I might have problems typing on this though. This guy is obviously a far better typer than I am.

Most of us are happy with a nice QWERTY keyboard. Why not have a keyboard that has the ABC’s one letter after each other the way nature intended? The Fast Finger Keyboard is exactly that keyboard. There are three ways to use it. If you are just learning typing, the keys are layed out on the keyboard in alphabetical order. Just press the ‘ABC’ button and the keys will type in that order.

But if you are ready to take it to the next level, you can use it as a normal QWERTY keyboard. The letters are layed out on the keyboard under the ABC keys in red. The other thing this keyboard does is when the ‘F’ key is pushed, IM abbreviations are available with the function keys. “CYA”, “LOL”, and “BTW” etc.
