If you have wood paneling in your house perhaps it’s time for a makeover. But if you still have a fondness for the eco-friendly material and looking for a new peripheral, you might want to check out the Impecca Bluetooth Bamboo Keyboard.
Naturally, pardon the pun; it’s not totally made of 100% wood. There are of course some built-in electronics under the surface, including a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is designed to last up to about a month on a single charge. Results, of course, will depend on how much you use it. Speaking of power, to save some, it’s designed to automatically enter sleep mode when it senses it’s not being used.
Bamboo construction makes the shell both durable and lightweight. At 11” x 6.6” x 0.6” it’s not mini, but it is reasonably compact allowing its 78 keys including a number of function and hot keys to be of a decent size.
A Touch of Colour
The keyboard is portable and pretty funky looking too. In fact, using one of these at your dorm or taking one along to a coffee shop should attract some interesting attention. Even better, if you’d like a touch of colour to go along with that natural bamboo and make it stand out even more, besides black, you have your choice of three additional colour options on the trim; blue, green and orange.
These keyboards not new, but recently, seeing a home in desperate need of help with a similar wood-grain, made me think of them.
The keyboard is compatible with a plethora of mobile devices including Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad) as well as others like the Surface, Kindle and Nexus to name a few.
The Impecca Bluetooth Bamboo Keyboard retails for $69.99 U.S. and is available directly from Impecca.com or Amazon.ca and ships with a non-wood micro USB cable.
