There seems to be a new [computer peripheral](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kbd-h75) every other day, but I don't think any of them can rival the Stealth keyboard in the badass department.

Made out of [stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-keycaps) and rubber, the Stealth keyboard is currently being sold for $700. This price tag might seem pretty steep to you, but this piece boasts red backlighting and a waterproof trackball, making it well worth the price.
