14 DAY TRIAL // Renowned computer peripherals manufacturer Cherry has announced its latest creation, a very special keyboard you don't see everyday: a Klingon keyboard! Now, if you're a Star Trek fan and, by any chance, you don't fancy the human civilization too much, it might prove that this Klingon keyboard is the perfect tool you have been waiting for. Just attach it to your computer and unleash the Klingon virus attack upon your network neighbors.
You're actually going to lay your hands on a no-nonsense (skip that) keyboard with a clean design and a most robust craftsmanship, sworn to “endure” quite a lot from its owner.
The Klingon keyboard is based on one of the best keyboard series from Cherry, the G83-6000, and it's most likely that this alien peripheral will carry on the heritage of excellence. The product is full-featured and comprises 105 keys, and pretty much all you need for your everyday (Klingon) tasks. The keycaps sport Klingon lettering, while the numbering and the F-keys have been designed with human characters, for an apparently hidden purpose.
Cherry says that the Klingon keyboard complies with its strictest standards, and each key has a 20 million-stroke lifespan. Now, if you plan to become a successful Klingon writer, that should sound like a feature that's meant to say that you can see to your masterpieces without worrying that your keyboard will become a wreck after the first chapters.
This weird Klingon contraption comes in black only, and sports a PS/2 connector. Moreover, being plug and play compatible, you'll be able to exercise your Klingon skills in just instants. Now, they say Klingon is one of the most popular non-human languages around, and creating such a keyboard was almost a necessity. What about Elf scripts, Orc phone books, and definitely Black Speech of Mordor cookie recipe books? That would indeed be something weird!
Finally, Cherry maintains that it'll be manufacturing a limited amount of Klingon keyboards, so if you plan to get your hands on one, you'd better hurry. This peripheral retails for a whopping $73, and we bet you'll have a hard time writing “Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul”(1) in Klingon.
