Logitech has released a new cordless desktop that seems to be aimed squarely at people who type for a living, the MK700. It features a cushioned palm rest, concave keys and slightly deeper key travel, combine that with an ergonomically designed mouse and you should be able to work at the thing all day without your hands feeling the pain.

Traditionally, wireless desktops haven’t scored to well in the workplace. They tend to be expensive, but the real kicker is the inconvenience of changing out batteries all the time, which is what makes Logitech’s latest offering all the more interesting. The company is claiming that battery life is up to three years with normal use (and presumably with the LCD dashboard disabled). The mouse will allegedly last up to a year.

For someone who just bangs out the occasional email, a setup like the MK700 is probably a waste of money, but if you do a lot of typing your fingers will thank you for it later in life.

Price: $100

I am sorry, but the Bang & Olufsen BeoTime looks ridiculous. Perhaps it is on account of me having bad taste, but I suspect that’s only part of the reason.

It’s an alarm clock that looks a little bit like a flute that has the ability to control your B&O sound equipment and it comes with a big, B&O price tag as well.

Price: $375 [Acquire]

Any serious Tekken player will know that the biggest challenge in jumping from the gamepad to the arcade stick is the size of the keys. It is pretty hard to bang out ten hit combos when you switch up to something that requires hands instead of thumbs. So on that grounds, an arcade stick is probably a worthy investment, but $150 for a game and the stick is just a little too rich for my blood, but it is wireless – so I could probably be persuaded.

The Veritas Dovetail Gang Saw is infinitely better suited to someone who has the ability to produce beautiful things out of wood than someone who could hardly bang together a spice rack, but it sort of has me wanting to give amateur carpentry another try. [Lee Valley via ToolMonger, BBG]
