With a nifty twist, The flexible Roll Up Keyboard can be rolled into the size and shape of a small baguette. The Twiddler wraps around the wrist and looks like something Buck Rogers would use to avoid enemy fire. The laser keyboard projects a virtual keyboard onto your table and then interprets your finger movements across it’s surface.

Not forgetting the sci fi exoticness of the orbitouch or the precision of the datahand. With so much choice the keyboard makeover could soon be in vogue, there could even be a resulting MTV spin off, Pimp My Type.
