This is ridiculous, it's a totally blank keyboard which, it is claimed, teaches you to type faster.
From the stable of the ever awesome Think Geek store comes the Keyboard Ultimate design which boasts, as its main feature 100% blank keys. Having a glossy, black upper enclosure with matching black USB cable also makes it Darth Vader approved (apparently).
I really do love the idea of this and have been trying to write up this trend with a t-shirt over my keyboard (yes really) to see if I qualify as an uber geek. I can report that I do rock at blind typing.
Being from Think Geek there is, of course, a technical description that I could not dream of matching;
