When it comes to household furniture, my personal preference is solid wood with a reddish stain to it. When it comes to my keyboard and mouse though, I’m all about the silver and blacks. That’s why I won’t personally be buying the Bamboo keyboard and mouse from Latestbuy any time soon.
The keyboard and mouse combo is worth $100. The keyboard case and mouse are crafted from bamboo, while the keyboard keys are a wood-finished plastic. Both devices work with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Macs and connect via USB.
I guess there might be some sort of zen satisfaction in using computer peripherals made from bamboo, but I still think I’ll pass.
