Keyboard for Blondes – All pink and yet functional.

Keyboard For Blondes

OMG! It’s a keyboard for BLONDES!!!

Blondes have suffered decades of ridicule, but it’s time they embrace the jokes. When it comes to a hot-pink boost of self-confidence (or at least a few good laughs), the Keyboard For Blondes may do the trick.

The all-pink keyboard swaps out standard keys with funnier, dumber key names. The backspace key now says “Oops!” and the entire row of function keys spells out USELESS KEYS. Hit the “$” sign and you get the sound of a cash register clinking.

Blondes can even get a little technical and use special keys that type out “OMG,” “ALI” (Absolutely Love It!), or “XOXO.” My favorite? The Caps Lock now says: “Warning! size XXL letters.”

Though this fully functional keyboard would be a great gift to poke some fun at your fair-haired friends, regular computer users may find it a bit challenging. However, like the completely blank Das Keyboard, the Keyboard for Blondes might help poor typists improve their skills, since the keys are 1) a distracting pink, and 2) no longer have the standard labels.

According to its manufacturer, European Trends, the keyboard has already been released in the U.K to some success, and at $49.95 probably only a true blonde would purchase this novelty item. It’s compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux. I know what Paris Hilton will be getting for Christmas. — CNET News Crave

*** It seems sexist to use the blonde stereotype to sell keyboards. This bubble-gum pink keyboard is a full-featured model. However, it looks weird to any old-fashioned hardware person, what with such keys as “Yes! I Want It!” (For Enter), “Oops!” (Back Space), “Totally Useless Key” (Ctrl), “Way Up” and “Way Down” Page Up and Page Down), “OK” (keypad Enter)”NO!” (Esc). It is a basic, normally functioning keyboard, but it is pink with humorous labels on the keys. Also, note that the numpad features dice instead of numbers, for the gambling inclined. Spending $49, to present one to your blonde friend may make you laugh, but it will only make her go “Whatever”.
