<p>Steampunk and retro futurist fabricator <em>Datamancer</em> has come up with yet another impressive creation. This time it&#8217;s a keyboard based on the ergonomic IBM Model M-15.</p>
<p><span id="more-2621"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
This keyboard was commissioned by a female client and has some elegant, feminine design features such as violet LEDs, an acanthus-leaf pattern etched into the brass, and a soft burgundy wrist pad that is removable for cleaning.</p>
<p>It also has a built-in &#8220;buttonless&#8221; touchpad mouse in the center (tap anywhere to left-click and drag, tap in the top-right corner to right-click).</p>
<p>This keyboard is interesting because the typing plane is actuallytipped forward rather than back. It looks odd at first, but actually makes for a very comfortable typing position.
</p></blockquote>

<p>There&#8217;s something about dogs and wrist support products. This is actually the third one we cover in a short period of time &#8211; first out was the <a href="http://www.geekalerts.com/bone-wrist-support/">Bone Wrist Support</a>, then the <a href="http://www.geekalerts.com/dog-wrist-support/">Doggy Ergonomic Armwrist</a>, and now this one that doubles as a keyboard cleaner.</p>
<p><span id="more-739"></span></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.thedesigntown.com/past/past_detail.asp?idx=453">Scottie Keyboard Cleaner / Cushion</a> is made of soft plush and loves hanging around your computer. When the keyboard needs cleaning he&#8217;s more than happy to lend you his shaggy fur to pick up the dust between the keys.</p>
<p>Scotty measures 5 x 3 1/2 x 1 3/4 in. and don&#8217;t mind a bath when he gets dirty. Unfortunately there is no word on pricing on the Design Town website.</p>

Not that long ago we had a post about the weird Bone Wrist Support. Now someone&#8217;s come up with another dog-themed computer comfort accessory.
The Doggy Ergonomic Armwrist ($17) does not only add a bit of coziness to your desktop, it also takes care of that annoying mouse cable slack.
