We weren’t sure what to expect from a Rock Band 3 keyboard. Would it be just a keyboard shaped box with colored buttons or something closer to an actual keyboard? Well, it looks like the keyboard has the usual white and black keys, with a row of colored labels above them.

How narrowly you have to hit the “real” key for the note in the song is based the difficulty level you select. In the easier levels you just have to be in the vicinity of the correctly colored area. The keyboard is also designed to work either on a lap or strapped over a shoulder.

The Commodore Invictus keyboard from Cybernet is a new Asus EEE PC Keyboard alternative. The company recently licensed the Commodore name and it has some nice specs to go along with it. It packs an Atom processor along with a touchscreen display, wireless HDMI, chicklet-style keys, the nVidia ION chipset and a 5-hour battery life.

Now that you are drooling, we sadly have no word on pricing or availability yet for the Commodore Invictus. Hopefully we will get more details soon so we can order one.

It would be cool to have a keyboard where the keys are all Lego bricks, but the downside is that those keys would be painful to type on with those nubs digging into your fingertips. Well, there is a simple solution.

For just $15 you can get these keyboard decals on etsy. Your keyboard will look like Lego-land and it won’t be painful at all. The best of both worlds. I’m no Lego geek, but the colors seem slightly off however.

Feeling like it’s time to upgrade that Optimus Maximus keyboard? Maybe something a bit smaller? Well, the Popularis, which was announced about two years ago is coming along nicely and on target to start production later this year with a release in 2011.

The Popularis will have full-color keys, but apparently they are not OLED this time. We won’t know an exact price until it arrives, but we are hoping it’s cheaper than the $1,000 price they originally quoted.

I don’t know about you, but I want a keyboard that’s truly portable. Something I can fit in my pocket. Well, Thanko has the answer with this full size USB keyboard which starts large, but folds down small enough to fit in your pocket.

Perfect for those who carry around netbooks. It weighs just over 8 ounces and the keyboard plays nice with both Windows and Mac platforms.

Microsoft launched the cool Arc mouse with an interesting foldable design a long time ago. Microsoft came back later and offered the Arc Keyboard for users wanting a full wireless desktop with style.

The original Arc keyboard was available in glossy black color only. Microsoft has now come back and offered a white version of the Arc Keyboard with a lime green bottom. Other than the color, the keyboard is the same as the original.

Sony’s new VAIO E series laptops already come in pretty colors, but if you think it still needs more pizazz, you can accessorize it further. Sony is now offering keyboard skins for the laptop. The skins will cost you $20 each and are available in green, blue, purple, black or pink.

Sony Insider says that they even improve the feel of the keyboard, and they seem like they are inclined to hug it tight and not fall off, which is always nice.

Here’s an interesting concept for you if you really love a full-sized keyboard when using a netbook. It comes from designer Yang Yongchang and offers a sturdy yet small design.

It could do with a large touchpad, but it’s still a very cool idea. Hopefully it won’t turn into an Autobot or Decepticon and kick your butt. If you combine this design with an extra pull-out display, you might just have a winner.

That is one smokingly hot and sexy keyboard. If you’ve been waiting for this sleek beauty, then we have some good news. The Eclipse Litetouch Keyboard has now cleared FCC and it’s almost available to purchase. The Eclipse Litetouch is unique not just because it looks good, but the number pad on the right side of the keyboard has been replaced with an LCD touchscreen.

You can program it with multiple sets of controls to be displayed. The Eclipse Litetouch keyboard will be available in a wired version for $99 and a wireless version for $129.

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.
