We remember the good old days of computing. The old Commodore of the 1980s brings back some good if graphically challenged memories. Barry Altman, President and CEO of Commodore USA, now has the rights to the Commodore name. And now, if we are lucky we can have a keyboard computer with the Commodore logo slapped on it.

Apparently it’s based on the Cybernet ZPC-GX31, the exact configurations and pricing are not available yet, but hopefully soon.

Looks like Acer has some new tricks up their sleeve. Soon they will introduce some ultra-thin frameless notebooks that feature touchscreen keyboards using the back of the panel’s glass substrate. These notebooks are scheduled to make their debut in the second half of the year.

The notebooks would display frames by printing colors onto the back of the notebook’s reinforced glass substrate by Corning. This would reduce the notebook’s size to something even thinner than was possible before and would also reduce material costs.

HTPC keyboards get more practical every day as they evolve. Check this out. This $92 6-inch-wide Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard fits in the palm of your hand, like a Wiimote. It has LED backlit keys for use in the dark, rechargeable batteries, and a touchpad.

There’s even a laser pointer. Proof that HTPC keyboards are definitely headed in the right direction. And you need a keyboard with your home theater PC. This one looks pretty convenient.

There’s no official confirmation on this just yet, so it resides in rumor territory at the moment, but check out this picture of a replacement keyboard for the BlackBerry Pearl 9100. If it’s real, then you may just get a full QWERTY keyboard on your 9100.

Last we heard, the 9100 would be using RIM’s SureType keyboard, but if this fits on the BlackBerry Pearl 9100, you might get a full QWERTY keyboard. Which would you want? I vote QWERTY.

Looking for a wireless keyboard? Why not check out the Rapoo 2900? It looks like a real charmer sitting there, looking debonair on it’s stand. It features a built-in touchpad, a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, docking charger, and a Bluetooth/USB dongle.

It’s smaller than it looks when you compare it to a full-sized keyboard and it will cost you about $86. Once you start using it you won’t be able to stop saying Rapoo over and over again.

Saitek’s latest Slim Keyboard is available for both Mac and PC and both feature a slim profile along with chiclet style keys. If this pink one doesn’t suit you, there are a wide range of colors to choose from: It comes in black, metallic red, metallic blue, aubergine, olive green and pink.

Number crunchers need not worry. This keyboard may be slim, but it’s wide enough to include a numeric keypad. Nothing on price yet, but you’ll want to start deciding which color best suits your Mac.

Do you type with toilet paper on your fingers because you are afraid of germs on the keyboard? Are you constantly spraying it with disinfectant? Worry no longer. Cleankeys has unveiled the new germ-free computer keyboard with a completely 100% touch sensitive interface. That eliminates all of the nooks and crannies that germs and harmful bacteria like to hide in.

The average keyboard has 3,295 germs per square inch, in case you were wondering. Toilet seats have about 49 germs per square inch. In comparison, the Cleankeys touch sensitive keyboard has just 33 germs per square inch.

You can’t use most computers without a keyboard and mouse. This is a problem for those who work in a small space or HTPC users who sit on the couch and might not have a surface for mousing. Adesso has unveiled a new keyboard that combines two input devices to save space.

The WKB-4200UB is a wireless keyboard with 2.4GHz connectivity and 30-foot range. It has 12 channels it can change through for best signal strength. The number pad of the keyboard is replaced with a track pad.

The Fast Finger keyboard is aimed mostly at children, or anyone not comfortable with the QWERTY layout. It’s also for you if you want a shortcut to type things like TTYL, L8R or BRB. It was shown off at Toy Fair 2010 in New York City.

The keys are in alphabetical order, but can also work in the standard QWERTY order instead. The function keys at the top make it easier to type all of those things which are already abbreviated. I guess it’s great for social network website addicts.

If you are editing videos, you’ll want something that helps you do it quickly and accurately. A real jog/shuttle wheel helps. Especially when it’s built into your keyboard. Of course whatever video editing software you are using has on screen interfaces that do the same things, but you still have to use a mouse and cursor to control them.

The GR100 keyboard adds just such a shuttle wheel so that you can turn to move quickly through a clip, and has an inner dial to locate the exact frame you are searching for. Some buttons around the dial allow shortcuts to other editing functions.

Remember the iKey AK-39 military-grade wrist keyboard? It was a small keyboard made for a soldier to wear on his or her wrist in order to manipulate a rugged, portable computer.

Now iKey has a new keypad, and it’s an OEM product meant to integrate directly with wrist-worn computers. The 17-key keypad “functions just like a cellular phone does when texting”. It also sports an integrated pointing device, dedicated mouse-click button, and an Enter key.

Microsoft has a new member in its SideWinder family in the SideWinder X4. The keyboard, in fact the entire “X-series”, is designed for gamers. One of the most interesting features of the X4 is the anti-ghosting feature, which allows gamers to press up to 26 keys at once.

Each key is scanned independently by the keyboard hardware, so each key is correctly detected. Some other features include adjustable backlighting, macro keys, automatic macro repetition and more.

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.

Now you know darn well that there’s no way they are going to let you just spend $499 on the iPad, right? Enter the official Apple keyboard dock for easier typing. The Jobs man demoed it himself. It looks like it would topple over fairly easy if you ask me.

The keyboard looks just like a normal Apple keyboard, and puts the iPad upright, so it’s like a mini desktop or something. I wonder how many people will prefer to type this way instead of the other.

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.
