No thank you but I like the concept.

I had one until it got eaten by a passing Panda Bear. o_O

I had one made of chocolate too, until my wife found it. :d

Mary Ann for the win!

 

I'd love to use that keyboard if it fits my fingers. The feel of wood vs plastic would be nice.

I like the idea of the keyboard.  Kind of makes me want to make a small oak frame facade for my monitor.  Too much plastic ;)

Bamboo is becoming the new hemp ...  a fast growing, biodegradable resource.

Using a SimpleTech (re)drive, cased in recycled aluminum and bamboo.  This keyboard would probably be looked upon as a long lost relative when we humans are asleep.

I must say, I never "got it" about Ginger. I found Mary Ann much more attractive.  :smitten:

Actually, I think this concept is very do-able. Bamboo is an extremely tough and resilient resource, which is more than I can say about my plastic keyboard that looses the letters on the keys about every 8 or 9 months. I also think that Rattan would also make for a good and durable keyboard. You may think that all this sounds a little weird, but my other hobby is creating my own custom jewelry, so the small intricasies of this concept appeals to my inner creativity.

I wonder if typing on several bamboo keyboards would sound like a gamelan ensemble?

maybe not, but it would go well with Karunesh's  "Zen Breakfast"

I can't help but wonder that the war on drugs fosters usage of these more dangerous substances.

I'll need a half-coconut wireless mouse to go with that and one with illuminated keys.

I believe that is exactly the keyboard the Amish used in their failed Y2K world takeover attempt.

I imagine an Oak Burl Knob. Carved to a roundness ideal for the hand. Ergonomic fit, warm to the touch, and having the intricately swirled look of burled wood. Sand and polished to a splinter free, warm shine.
