“Space, The Final Frontier™”
« on: Mon, 03 February 2014, 03:25:28 »
I love the spacebar here :p on the Star Trek keyboard and mouse set.

Why does the box say in such big letters, “It’s a Keyboard”? I guess in case you thought it was a spaceship.

That could have been pretty cool if they hadn't made it goofy.

Other than the top row and tab, it looks quite similar to the ML-4100 but I don't know if you could have ML caps that small..

This keyboard reminds me of those Kidboard 1800 keyboards with White Alps. Wonder if it has Alps switches...

I really love that "IT'S A KEYBOARD," it's got meme potential.

Didn't somebody propose a Star Trek (TNG) themed group buy for a DSA profile 104-key set from SP?   

I guess that never happened?

Woulda been betta. 

Well, I guess unless you like Alps and Wil Wheaton.



Who didn't have a crush on Wil Wheaton, amirite?

There was a hangup. It was decided that they wanted to dye-sub the PBT DSA caps and SP didn't have that functionality at the time so it's happening soonTM. I don't really know when it will be finished.

I use to have an enormous crush on his mother Beverly.  Ummm, imagine late at night in the sick bay just myself and her when she bends over........ that always caused wonderful sensations when I was in bed at night, in the late summer time during my teenage years  ;) .
