Star Trek, Wolverine Keyboards, Induce Headache

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

The Wolverine keyboard and wireless mouse would look good next to the recently-released Marvel HDTV.

Online retailer Urban Collector provides premium, pop culture collectibles like the Nosferatu license plate, iPhone app-style magnets for your fridge, and even a Star Trek-themed ceramic shot glass for those long drunken nights of watching TOS and T.J. Hooker back-to-back.

But what really caught the geek in me was the Star Trek NCC-1701 Warp Wired Keyscraper, a $46 USB keyboard that features the Enterprise shooting at warp speed across the entire peripheral. The site also offers a matching wireless mouse for $27 (Star Trek NCC-1701 Warp Wireless Mouse), although it's not as impressive as the keyboard.

For the comic lover in you, Urban Collector also offers Marvel-themed keyboards and wireless mice, showing Iron Man (keyboard, mouse) and Wolverine (keyboard, mouse) in ther infamous action poses. It's all good stuff as long as the images don't rub off within days... I'd hate to Hulk-out and smash everything out of sheer disappointment.

If you want clean looking keyboards, you may want to avoid these.

Bad idea. Cute, but functionally worthless.

Was this supposed to be a review? You don't give any reviewer links or even a personal experience of these keyboards wearing off. Nor do you mention anything about a headache inducing image like you mention in your title.

What is the point of this article? All I can see is a blogger who visited a website and made assumptions.

Those are the most horribly painful looking mice I have ever seen.

$46 for an irritating keyboard? I will sell you some stickers (a rainbow, a dragon, maybe a unicorn) so you can spruce up your existing keyboard. Let's say $2? Anyone interested?

Seriously, instead of just posting an article and providing your first-glance thoughts, put a little more into it and provide more detailed coverage. Anyone can drop a .jpg and attach a link with their personal opinion, but how about some legitimate review links?

The only thing I can think of for inducing headaches is the fact that it rubs off and that would be annoying?

Surprised your editor let you post that. With that title, along with the context of other articles and how their titles works, I assumed you were saying that these things actually induced headaches. I would be a bit more careful, they may actually have grounds for libel with this article titled the way it is.

Also, those are some ugly keyboards.
