Let’s face it. Most of us have the normal gray/black/white 102-key keyboard that came with out computer package. The geekier geeks will throw away the standard keyboard and get one of the keyboards below.

10. Roll-up keyboard
    
    
    
    Just your normal keyboard with one big difference: it rolls up. If a keyboard in your office or class suddenly breaks, you can whip this one out of your pocket and hook it up to the computer. You can either look like a hero or a total loser.
9. The wrist keyboard
   
   
   
   Very nice keyboard to have if your words per minute rate is 82…with your left/right hand.
8. Maltron 3D Ergonomic Keyboard
   
   
   
   The layout of this keyboard is a tad weird. The letters are separated, and the number pad is placed in the gap. The Maltron 3D keyboard probably has a learning curve.
7. The SafeType keyboard
   
   
   
   Probably the only keyboard in the market that resembles a joystick.
6. Virtual Laser Keyboard
   
   
   
   This one looks really nice. Useful for playing games at night or doing homework at night, and you don’t want to bother others. I’ve read the review of this keyboard, and it’s probably not worth it to spend you money on this because its interpretation is still pretty bad.
5. The frogpad
   
   
   
   This mini keyboard looks more like a toy than anything else, but the manufacturer says that you can actually get 40 words per minute if you practice 6 - 10 hours. Reminds me of my calculator.
4. The Twiddler 2
   
   
   
   Play with this long enough, and you can say hello to carpal tunnel syndrome as well as typing 30 words per minute. Looking at the way you have to type, it kinda looks like a guitar…I wonder if chicks will dig you if you use this. (I’m kidding)
3. The Orbitouch
   
   
   
   The Orbitouch looks like speakers more than anything else. So how does it work? You have to slide the domes into various positions to create letters and numbers.
2. The Datahand
   
   
   
   No, this is not a footprint; it’s for people who have pain typing on a normal keyboard.
1. The Tidy Tippist
   
   
   
   For home economic teachers.
