All-Bamboo Wireless Keyboard Mouse Combo Awaits X'mas Sales
Here's a good gifting idea for the geek in your family (other than you) or your friends-circle, a new wireless keyboard-mouse combo made it to online stores, that's fabricated almost completely of bamboo wood. Practically every part otherwise made of ABS plastic uses bamboo. The keyboard has a warm wooden feel to it; its frame, and all its keys are made of bamboo. The keys have their symbols/functions etched into them, instead of being printed or embossed upon them. It has a standard 108-key US-QWERTY layout, which also includes a few shortcut keys. Underneath is a common membrane switching mechanism. The keyboard connects to a USB micro receiver over 2.4 GHz wireless band.
The mouse, too, is fabricated almost entirely of bamboo. This includes its top side, its two main buttons, and its underside. The scroll-wheel is made of rubber. The mouse uses a common optical sensor that's fit for everyday tasks. Like the keyboard, the mouse talks to the receiver over 2.4 GHz wireless. The keyboard weighs 1020 g, with the mouse 69 g. The keyboard measures about 465 x 160 x 25 mm, and the mouse 57 x 94 x 35 mm. The combo is priced at US $89.

Now I just need some punji sticks to keep people away from this.
The idea is pretty neat. It must feel different than plastic stuff.
That is just the way how Bamboo grows that make it look like that.
After all it isn't a "real" tree.
Don't wood expand with different temperatures\moist levels ?. And WOW 2 battery's really ? so much for it saving the planet.. Shiii they should of talked to Logitech before bringing this thing out.
Can they make a bamboo keyboard painted black?
Interesting idea and it might have me curious had they not made it cordless.
