There are still some people who prefer a tactile QWERTY keyboard, so South Korea-based Mobience has come up with a new solution to address the needs of those smart phone/tablet users who want traditional button inputs.

The smallQWERTY keyboard is a nice concept design that wirelessly connects and inputs text into your touch interface smart phone. We don’t have any technical details at the moment, but you can check out the video here. This should make many people happy if it ever hits the market.

Our excitement over the eee Keyboard has grown stale after waiting so long for it, but the Cross PC U510 might be a good alternative. The Cross PC U510 packs in a 1.6GHZ Nvidia Ion, 2GB RAM, 250GB SATA hard drive, with a 5-inch TFT touchscreen embedded on the surface.

Some other features include Wi-Fi, handwriting recognition, and 3D graphics. It has to rely on external power though, having no battery. It can be connected to a normal display, HD TV, and projectors , but no support for dual displays.

SteelSeries has teamed up with Blizzard for a StarCraft II Limited Edition ZBoard Keyset. The design is of course based on the upcoming StarCraft II title and features artwork from the game and a layout that will help you kick ass in said game.

Some features include one-touch macros and the ability to customize each key. It will cost you $24.99 when the game itself becomes available. hat’s about all the info we have on this one.

Generally we like our keyboards to sit still, but what if a moving keyboard meant less repetitive stress injury? That’s the idea here. This ergonomic USB keyboard from Smartfish moves slightly, just every so often, depending on your workload, which keeps your wrists from aching and helps you avoid repetitive stress injuries.

Look for it in mid-April for $150. Who knows, it may actually help for once. The two halves move apart and together and the base vibrates just a bit once or twice an hour to massage your wrist muscles. You shouldn’t even be aware of the movement.

Well, it may not have gotten a 2009 release, but ASUS has just confirmed that the Eee Keyboard PC will go on sale next month for between $500 – $600. The price is about what we expected, but really we’re just glad it is finally arriving after such a long wait.

To refresh your memory, it runs on a previous generation Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, has a single DIMM slot, with 1 gigabyte of DDR2 memory and no accessible way to upgrade to 2 GB. A 16-GB SSD comes standard, with an option to go to 32 GB. It also has a built-in battery which lasts up to 4 hours.

Wireless keyboards are perfect to use with your HTPC setup, but the livingoom is a messy place full of dangers for any keyboard. There’s spilled drinks, the danger of leaving your keyboard on the couch and having someone sit on it, etc.

Well, this rollable Bluetooth keyboard should make those problems a thing of the past. It comes fresh from the FCC in red or pink and is made of a rubbery material. It won’t break in half if you sit on it and it is safe from spills. It’s also super portable.

NorhTec’s Gecko Surfboard is a regular QWERTY keyboard that also comes equipped with a 1GHz x86 system-on-chip (SoC), VGA and composite video outputs, 10/100 Ethernet and optional WiFi b/g. The Surfboard uses only 5-watts of power and runs cool enough that it doesn’t need a fan.

The computer/keyboard will run Windows XP, Linux, or Windows CE. Some other features include USB ports, headphone and microphone connections, two SDHC memory card slots, 512MB RAM and a 2.5-inch hard drive.

Take a look at this keyboard. Do you think that this would be better for your hands than the standard type? To me it looks downright painful to use. But maybe it just looks that way. Maybe it will be ultra comfortable. Priced at $300, you and I will never know.

That’s right, $300. That’s a lot of money to pay for no guarantee that it will be a good keyboard. If any of you have a spare $300 to gamble on this thing, let us know how badly your hands are cramping up while you write us.

This washable keyboard is of course waterproof. WetKeys entire range is waterproof in fact. Several of them are also wireless and feature Bluetooth, along with an integrated touchpad so you won’t need a mouse.

Depending on the model you want, the WetKeys keyboards will cost you anywhere from $50 up to nearly $200. If you are in the market for this, you must either spill a lot of drinks or work in a water-sprinkler factory. Or maybe you just want to work while taking a bath.

This Gboard keyboard might not have all 69 Gmail shortcuts, but the 19 that it does feature are probably the most-used. Search, star, archives, trash, all the important ones are here and even in Google colors.

Asus must be toying with us, but we don’t think it’s very funny. We’ve all been drooling over their entertainment-PC-in-a-keyboard with wireless HDMI for months. But where is it? They said we would see it in October, but now it’s delayed until early next year. What the holy f’ing hell? At least they’re making the 5-inch touchscreen a capacitive panel now.

Apparently the Wi-Fi/Ultra Wide Band aerial has been made into an external dongle, because the keyboard’s metallic body reduced the signal. A planned non-metallic version will still integrate the wireless receiver.

Do you do a lot of typing and scanning? If you do than the KeyScan Keyboard Scanner with an integrated document scanner may be just the thing you’ve been waiting for. This sheet fed scanner can scan at 24/48bits high quality (Color) or 8/16bits gray level and black & white.

It will scan flat documents up to 8.5″x30″ along with business card size 2″x3″ and even laminated cards. KeyScan offers a true optical resolution of 600 dpi and has an auto-scan feature that automatically starts scanning when you insert a document.

The keyboard is one of those places where germs lurk in the home and office. This is due to the fact that many people’s hands touch the keyboard each day and the typical keyboard is very hard to clean and disinfect without damaging it. A new keyboard called the Vioguard UVKB50 Self-Sanitizing keyboard has been unveiled that promises to kill many of the germs in the office or home.

The keyboard has a 50W UV light source that can kill all sorts of viruses and bacteria in seconds. The germs that can be killed include those that cause swine flu, MRSA and more. Vioguard claims the light can kill 99.99% of viruses and bacteria.

The freshly announced Logitech G110 gaming keyboard is the followup to the G11 keyboard. This one features customizable red and blue backlighting LEDs, 12 programmable G keys, and three M keys.

It also boasts automatic game detection so that you can create custom profiles for your games, as well as integrated headset support and a USB 2.0 port. No word on pricing or availability for the G110 yet, but we’ll let you know when we know.
