Cheap wooden keyboard and mouse on ebay
« on: Sat, 31 August 2013, 20:41:57 »
For those of you yearning for the "natural" look - here it is at a low price.

Don't blame me if it is no good, just thought somebody might be interested for one reason or another.

PS - "sweat absorbing" WTF?

That keyboard does look beautiful.  If only it had mechanical switches under those bamboo caps...

I would buy that set just for the mouse, but I can't see any information on the size of the wireless receiver. Nano is the only way to go now :)

Wood (or in this case, bamboo) absorbs sweat and the natural oils of your skin.  In any case, it's bound to be more sweat-absorbent than a plastic keyboard.

Of course. But is that a "selling feature" ?

I am guessing because the marketers thought that a lot of people are bothered by caps getting grimy over time.  I'm baffled by the radiation comment, however.......  Not to mention that it's complete BS.

There could also be aliens looking into your window, watching your every move.  Tweaking electrodes they've inserted into your brain while you were sleeping.

In the photo with the mouse showing the battery compartment you can see the receiver tucked inside - it's a nano, or stubby receiver.   :)

If it's similar to the build of the bamboo board I have - the keycaps are painful.  The front of the cap is sharp from the cut and if you drag your fingers across them....ugh...

Looks amazing, though.

Even with the utter bull**** description, that still remains one of the nicer looking wood keyboard and wood mouse I have seen.
