New Logitech keyboards announced – scroll lock AWOL?
Keyboards aren’t the most hyped of peripherals. You don’t get major keynotes with the unveiling of a new keyboard slowing the internet down a little – after all, there is only so much you can do with them: adding any major new functionality, such as a new letter, would require a complete reworking of the English language – and it isn’t quite within, say, Logitech or even Microsoft’s marketing budget to promote the 27th letter of the alphabet and license it to publishers and newspapers to create a “product eco-system”. This isn’t to say keyboards aren’t important though – they’re probably the most mission-critical device in any computer. I’ve used mine a few hundred times just typing this paragraph.

Don't just get it clean – get it Cyber Clean!
If your keyboard is forever full of the, er, by-products of the working day, perhaps you might be interested in giving it a thorough Cyber Clean.
The Cyber Clean is a… some sort of… a thing designed to help stick to and pick up the human waste (I mean dead skin and hair, nothing rude) that tends to accumulate wherever humans sit still for long periods of time. It’s uses a “combination of viscosity and elasticity” to sink into recesses and pick up dirt. It was probably developed by NASA…
