Leather Keyboard Couples Style With Impracticality

Wednesday March 25, 2009

You just knew that, someday, we'd see things like solid gold peripherals for the luxurious and eccentric set. But jewels and precious metals are so gaudy. What about the millionaires who want a more subtle and comfortable feel?

Enter the Gokukawa leather keyboard -- a keyboard that gives your delicate fingers the best possible treatment, by allowing them to dance around on rich leather, with custom letters hand-etched into each key. Each individual keyboard is over $500.00, but you get hand crafted elegance at that price, as each is custom made.

It's just a little disappointing, however, that it's not really a "leather keyboard." It is, rather, a standard keyboard merely wrapped in leather. Sure, still soft, still luxurious -- but not quite as impressive.
