Silence that keyboard! That clickety-clacking all day long gets annoying, so that’s why these absolutely silent keyboards exist. Not only is the full-sized ReallyCool Keyboard quiet, it’s waterproof, so you can scrub it with soap and water if you’re in an environment where things get too funky to touch. Even more appealing is its backlighting, for, say, typing next to a hospital bed in the middle of the night.
Marketed to medical facilities, these silent keyboards are seeing use in courtrooms, too, where the distracting rat-a-tat-tat of typing tests the temper of judge and jury. According to its maker, the ReallyCool keyboard has tactile keys, giving you a normal-feeling typing experience even though it’s not particularly ergonomic. You’ll have to pay extra for all that ReallyCoolness, though — it’s $199, in your choice of black or cool gray.
Any one who has ever used a laptop the way its name suggests, knows that these things get pretty hot after a while, so having some kind of support that keeps the computer and your body separated and cool is a good idea. While there are plenty of so called cooling pads on the market, most are hard and uncomfortable. This log pillow from Intelligent Forms Design on the other hand is nice and cushy, with plenty of space between the logs that allow air to circulate. The front log also acts as a soft but supportive wrist rest. Made from natural materials like hemp canvas and using buckwheat hulls for fill material, there’s a literal aspect to the tree hugging part as well.
