There are only four acceptable reasons I can think of for buying this US$30 dollar Crayola EZ Type keyboard: 1) You’re a little slow. 2) You’re under the age of five (and still maybe a little slow). 3) You have a kid under the age of five (and you’re both a little slow). 4) You really, reeeeally hate the offset alignment of standard keyboards. If you’re not buying for any of the above reasons, you’re probably a pedophile who knows no child can resist a bunch of bright colours and the Comic Sans font. Shame on you, and may God have mercy on your soul. [Crayola via Red Ferret via BB Gadgets]

Adrian, your comment is somewhat insulting, considering this is a perfect tool for a child with autism – the reason I was looking to purchase it.

At our school we are in the process of purchasing our fifth crayola keyboard – we find the keyboard a wonderful resource for children with special needs. The simplified format, the coloured sections and the easy to press larger keys all have helped our children develop their keyboard skills and make the computer a positive experience. It is a very useful teaching tool for the children who struggle with the conventional keyboard.

I bought one of these for my 3 year old son to use on a small computer I built for him. He’s little and his mouse and keyboard skills are still developing. Neither he nor I are slow – I thought it’d be a fun keyboard for his first computer.
Since I know I’m not a pedophile, that clearly makes Adrian an idiot. Just saying.
