Hasta La Gadget!

Hey, Scrabble geeks-even if you can’t play the addictive game 24/7, at least you can pretend with the Scrabble keyboard. Although not (yet) for sale, the Scrabble keyboard is made from real Scrabble tiles that were all hand-beveled and built into a USB, clicky, mechanical-switch keyboard. Granted, not all of the keys, like the Caps lock key, are original Scrabble pieces, but for the most part, the keys are authentic.

The keyboard’s creator received such a positive response, that a note was added on Jan. 19 saying a batch of keyboards is being considered for the near future. The legality of the Scrabble name could be an issue. “Please don’t sue me, Hasbro, I’m just a guy in a garage over here!” said the keyboard’s creator.

Here’s hoping Hasbro lets him make more of those keyboards, because playing online Scrabble with the Scrabble keyboard would make it just that much more fun.
