Soundproofed Keyboard Cover Has No Reason to Exist

Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Today's Chili

As we get ready for the traditional orgy of consumption that is the Christmas season, our thoughts turn to gifts and, specifically, novelties so unusual and useless that our giftee cannot possibly have one already. Thanko’s Keyboard Quiet Cover completely owns this category.

It’s a thick fabric bag into which you slide your noisy keyboard, thus dulling the rat-a-tat sounds of the clackety mechanical keys. Your hands enter through a gap in the front, and there is a plastic window so you can see what you’re pressing.

And that window is the giveaway. Almost nobody uses a noisy leaf-sprung keyboard anymore, and those that do most certainly know how to touch-type, obviating the need for a plastic window. Hell, most of us use laptops, whose keyboards make almost no sound other than that of soft rubber membranes or scissor-switches being gently depressed by plastic chiclets.

So if you’re pondering that age-old question – what can I buy the (wo)man who has everything? – then know that the correct answer is “nothing”. They already have too much. Please, for once in your life, just stop buying things.

¥2,980, or $36.
