Definitely not! This right here is the Miniguru. It’s tagline is “Always on the Home Row.” Can you guess why? Perhaps it has something to do with these fantastic alternate keyboard layouts that are catching on more and more recently? Easier typing through location of letters, right? That and more! See those swirly buttons on the right and left of the spacebar? Keys to the keyboard’s brain. Any setup you wish, at your command.

Yes indeed, if you ARE the sort of person who likes easier typing through location of letters, that’s fine! Colemak, Dvorak, any layout you wish, programmable, storable in the keyboard’s firmware so that wherever the keyboard goes, your settings go too!

Choose the body color, key color, stick color, and even the color of the connectors under the keys (switches.) These mechanical key switches come in “clicky,” “tactile,” or “linear.” Large feet underneath combined with a standard size allows for the Mini to be placed on top of a laptop keyboard and used with ease.

Not for those whofinger gymnastics! Efficient typers only!

The Copy the Spirit is a knife block that can be considered more of an artwork than to be a functional kitchen item.

If you were to look at the item, there is nothing special about this product. However, the slits and the frame made this knife block artistic and eye catching. -via

They say something about liking something too much for you would want to live with it, eat with it and even sleep with it! Well, if the “it” in question is a Star Wars game, here is what you could do to sleep with your favorite video game. Kayla Kromer has designed an amazingly geeky Star Wars Millennium Falcon bed. It comes with fully functioning headlights, starfield projection and also has enough space for you to hide all your action figures.

The space is located in the cockpit, and if you were wondering how you could manage to get suitable pillows, Kayla has taken care of them too and has designed the cool Radar Dish Pillow. No Star Wars fan can deny the coolness of this bed, which looks exactly like the Millennium Falcon featured in the Star Wars series.
