This almost microscopic-sized USB keyboard has to be the smallest I’ve ever seen.  At just 6.7″ X 2.9″, it is about the size of an open hand.  I can see this portable keyboard becoming a favorite of PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii gamers to eliminate having to use the video game controllers for inputting data.

Although I get the whole idea of making cell phones, notebook computers, and other new gadgets as small as possible, I’m wondering if this is really practical for business purposes?  My point is, if you’re going to use a keyboard this small, then why don’t you just type on your Blackberry or cell phone?

The super tiny keyboard has a retractable USB cord and 56 keys.  I found it at Brando for $25.

Is it a keyboard or a fruit roll-up? I love the squishy design of the Super Kool keyboard from Newton’s Universe. The folding keyboard, for use with your notebook or PC, is made of silicone, so it’s flexible and water-resistant. Looks like you could toss this thing into a bag without having to worry about damaging it. The portable keyboard hooks up via USB port, and is even compatible with Sony PS/2.

I like the idea of not having those little spaces between keys that pick up grime, goo, and who knows what else. Coming from someone who’s buried a laptop thanks to a soda spill, I’m pleased to have found a notebook keyboard that just might hold up to my Diet Coke habit. The Super Kool keyboard retails for $39.99 at Newton’s Universe.
