Keyboards? Sexy? Those two words really never felt like they should be used in conjunction as one brought up images of clunky keys tapping away, whilst sexy conveyed sleek sophisticats and little black dresses. Well now those categories have merged and produced the Slim Blade, the loveliest piece of desktop equipment I've ever used. Should I start with the super slim design, the decadently dark colour, or even the way the smooth trackball feels under my fingers?
This set combines four pieces, three of them magnetically attached modules and a mouse, so you can customize your little heart away. Whether you want the media player remote to the right or left of the main key frame it's up to you, and the whole shebang is wireless as well. Yup, a tiny wireless receiver hidden inside the mouse (slightly tricky to find) is plugged into the USB port to provide you with wire free action. The portable mouse has a scroll ball for 360 intuitive scrolling and it also goes into sleep mode when you turn off your computer. The whole package is coated with a smooth veneer making it very desk-glam, and apart from possibly needing some mini legs to give it extra height, it's a dream to use.
