Klingon Computer Keyboards

[dreadpiraterose]

OMG! They are actually going to be making Klingon computer keyboards. Word is they'll be doing Vulcan and Romulan ones eventually.

I think this is the geekiest, yet most awesome, Star Trek merchandise EVER.

Don't lie... you know you want one!

Hah, at first I thought this was going to be a Klingon themed keyboard as in the design would look alien, not the letters themselves!

I'll get one for novelty maybe, but meh, why would I really need to type in klingon?

 

[black_dranzer]

Did you happen to see/post this on the Livejournal startrek community?

And of course you won't really be typing in Klingon unless you have a Klingon font installed. These are just keycaps with Klingon letters on them. And for what it's worth, a few of the symbols in the picture don't match with the characters we usually associate with the Klingon font.

I'd rather just buy some blank keycaps and engrave them myself.

Me too. Maybe we'll be seeing these keyboards in upcoming Trek movies

Oh, I have got to get one of those.

2 things come to mind......I either have to brush up on my Klingon or really learn where the english keys are.

I wish it were more Klingon in design. I'd have to see a good pic of it before I'd buy it. Wouldnt be much use though seeing as I've got 2 laptops which I use a lot and the desk top I have I dont use a lot.

ROFL!

That's as dumb as that five thousand dollar federation coffin shaped like a photon torpedo. The only difference is that eventually you'll have a practical use for the coffin. It's stuff like this that really shows you what manufacturers think of the intelligence level of the Star Trek fanbase.

It may be difficult to understand, however, have you ever used a Russian, Chinese, Japinese...ect keyboard. If you are not familier with the syntax, you would be as lost using Earth languages as you would trying to use Klingon, Cardissian...ect. It would be fun to learn how to type "Today would be a bad day to Die" or "My name is Worf Son of Mogh". And it may look impressive on your resume...

I need a replacement Dominion keyboard for the auxiliary panel on my Dominion ship...

Maybe they're coming soon too...

I dunno about the resume thing...
