Wooden Input Peripherals from Marubeni Infotec

Jun 09, 2007
Make your computer more natural with these gadgets. Sounds cool but why should you use wood instead of using plastic? They were presented at Computex and they really looked cool. In continuation to that Wooden laptop it would be a good accessory for you.

The keyboard is a usual keyboard made of wood. However it does not have number pad, but it has Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock LEDs to let you know when those are on.

Generally it is just a simple wooden keyboard. I think that wooden keyboards are not as durable as plastic keyboard are and they cost a lot more.

Several more gadgets have been presented there: USB 2.0 flash drives, four-port USB hub, multicard reader and they all were made in the same wooden style. People don't cut trees just to have some nice keyboards at home. It should be comfortable and fit you but not have a fancy look.

I use my keyboard for typing and not for looking at it. Besides, there are no multimedia keys on it.

First, you have a strange writing style that makes it hard to understand what you are trying to say. It's not the word "generally" ("generally" is a synonym for "usually" or "normally") but "overall" that you meant to have written, for example. "Generally" implies a time-wise sequence in which the majority of events match the description given, and there is no such time-wise sequence or even a plurality or any notion of multiplicity in the keyboard that is the subject of the sentence where "generally" occurs. You might have meant "in general", which would have been closer to "overall", but "overall", "on balance", etc. are the constructions that would have made sense. What you wrote doesn't.

There's a problem like that in nearly every sentence! If you fix it (by reading more good English, then writing to match what you notice about what you read), it'll do more for your accessibility to your readers than protesting that it's unimportant, which I suspect you would do next in reply.

As to the keyboard, it looks great to my eyes and I'd like to know how much it costs and where to get hold of it! I'm always trying out keyboards. I always write on my IBM TP for comfort. Maybe a cute wooden keyboard would attract my fingers sufficiently to use it more than the once-and-never-again that is my general average.

Personally I'd have thought that using a piece of dead tree wood would have used less non-replaceable natural resources than a plastic factory would have. A wood keyboard needs to be cut, planed and sanded, then varnished. Plastic is made from oil fractions or similar and is the result of a heavy industrial process. I suppose I could make a wooden keyboard frame myself for one of those thin rubber flat keyboards, but key throw is the thing one has to get right in producing a usable keyboard and there's nothing I could do about that!

This is the most ridiculous idea i have ever seen, and i have seen more than my share already.
