Keyboard keys jump the shark

Lately, it seems like there has been a rash of products elevating ordinary keyboard keys to pop culture status. They’ve become an ironic take on our digital life. They take an ordinary thing we use everyday out of their normal context. They’re jumping the shark.

Take a look at these recent products, all found via Gizmodo.

The first up is the weirdest. These are actual rings that you can wear and push. They have bonafide keyboard action. Would you want to impress your friends with your Ctrl ring?

Marché Noir’s Computer Key Rings are spring mounted to accurately reproduce the action on your favorite key - so you can hit it whenever you need to reboot your cool.

Or, you can buy one of these lovely keyboard wall clocks. Enough said.

But personally, this is my favorite, seriously. The Delete eraser, created by Art.Lebedev Studio, who also makes the Optimus keyboard. This is ironic in a good way. The eraser erases. It really deletes. Ok, it’s funny, but I like it.
