This Multi-Touch Glass Keyboard and mouse combo is the first with a touch-sensitive glass interface. The tempered glass touch surface is easy to wipe clean, and by design it’s immune to those crumbly bits of scone that somehow always find a way to get between the cracks of your keys (Okay, okay, by ‘scone’ we mean apple fritter). There are no moving parts that will wear out or snap off, you know after the abrasive typing that only comes with a doughnut-induced sugar rush. The keyboard has a metal base and printed keys on the back of the glass. Plus, these braniacs also kept in mind pesky, unsightly cords – both the keyboard and mouse are wireless and rechargeable.
