Post by: clickclack on Wed, 30 September 2009, 22:42:52

This seems like a keyboard that would give you a computer virus if you looked at it crooked!!!
whuuuuh?

It looks like pure evil! (possibly not in a good way)

That thing is hideous.  It looks like one of those $3 keyboards but without letters.

Is that a custom novelty box like the kinds you'd buy from the Onion or Archie McPhee (http://www.mcphee.com/shop/)? I couldn't find any reference for any such keyboard online anywhere.

I didn't get the virus reference at first. It is indeed named after a virus/worm.
As for the "Extreme users only!" on the box - what can you say?
I think it's safe to assume the quality isn't one of the best.

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Script kiddies will probably love it though. "700k 47 m3, l337 h4x0r"

L-shaped enter key, small backspace?  I really did throw up a little!

God people sell some sh** on ebay and, what's worse they expect some poor mug to buy it! There's one born every minute - end of rant - for now - lol

What would I do if my mom came over and wanted to use the computer though?

My Mum thought that I was spending too much time indoors on the bleedin' 'puter and not playing out getting a suntan - she's gone now - may her rest in peace.

My mum could play the piano; she taught it and could type but she thought that my keyboard was horrendous having learnt on a '40's British manual typewriter.

Well, by definition on the box that keyboard comes in it says "This aint your moms keyboard". So I guess she's out

Celebrate because she can't mess up your PC?

*grin*

I'll pass on this particular keyboard.  I don't want the Krylon rubbing off on my hands.

Hand her a "I love you" mouse.
