I Love My Keyboard

Following up on yesterday’s “design that makes me happy” theme, let me briefly mention my keyboard.  I’ve got one of Apple’s ulta-thin aluminum keyboards – specifically the USB version w/ numeric keypad.  It’s a joy to use.  It feels great, it looks great, and it doesn’t collect nearly as much dirt as a normal keyboard.  I love the little green LED in the caps lock key.

The thing is, this is a $50 keyboard in a market filled with perfectly fine keyboards in the sub-$10 price range.  Why spend the extra $40?  Because it makes me happy.  That’s good design, and the fact that it’s a cliche to point this sort of thing out when it comes to Apple products makes it no less true.
