Apple-Keysless Keyboard

Image
  Apple recently patented their take on the glass piezoelectric keyboard concept such as the Kong Fanwen “No-Key” design announced months earlier. Where this will go remains to be seen, but rather than a clear sheet of glass, Apple’s patent indicates an LED backlit device with LCD “screens” under a stamped or formed hard touch-sensitive surface.  Keys will be positioned and marked as they are on a conventional keyboard allowing for touch typing, but a haptic feedback method like the vibration-on-click method that many cellular devices currently use will indicate key presses rather than any direct key motion.

Cyber E Sport Orbita Mouse

  Looking for an extremely cool mouse? Your search ends here. Cyber E Sport's Orbita is designed for people who are looking for "something different". I bet, once it graces your desk you'll have many people ogling at your latest purchase. The Orbita is the world’s first wireless 3-axis mouse , integrated with intuitive control centre that redefines conventional mouse limitations. A built-in compass calibrates movements in 3 dimensions. The most noticeable change to your conventional mouse is the replacement of the scroll wheel. The wireless cylindrical shape becomes the basis of this incredible enhancement. Now instead of a vertical (up and down) scrolling, you simply rotate the mouse left or right in a natural dialling action  The Orbita Mouse works with both Mac and PC platforms, and will communicate wirelessly over the 2.4GHz band. This three-axis mouse comes with an adjustable top and side shell buttons, allowing its scrolling body to be spun

5-Pen Computer

One pen with the CPU, one with projecting a virtual keyboard , one projecting the output , one with a camera , and one for communications . This with a base containing a battery charger and a mass storage device. Prototype will be around 30k$, or 24kE. Cool! Realisation on the CPU pen and the Base is open at the moment, but the display, communication, keyboard and camera pen are either near completion, or almost near completion. As to the keyboard, projecting a virtual keyboard is already available on the market. The remaining two pens don't sound as the most difficult, so I think this will see the light of day relatively soon.
