These Colorful Keyboards Add Pizzazz to Your Desktop

When it comes to computer keyboards, they usually come in boring colors like black, white, or grey. And their keys are almost always square. If you’re looking for something a little more vibrant, then you might want to grab one of these colorful keyboards I spotted on Amazon (affiliate link).

UBOTIE’s wireless keyboards sell for about $60, and come in various shades of purple, blue, green, pink, and red. With their circular keys, they kind of remind me of those lipstick displays you see at department stores. You know, the ones that are always missing that one color you’re looking for? Or that’s been worn down to a nub?

If these keyboards aren’t colorful enough for you, each one comes with a color-matched wireless mouse too. The keyboards and mice run on a 2.4Ghz wireless connection and work with Windows or Mac OS computers. While they do make a blue keyboard, they don’t support Bluetooth, so don’t expect to use one of these with your mobile devices.

I suppose if you’re really into fashion and makeup, you could buy all five of these and color-coordinate your keyboard and mouse with your outfit each day. Though for me, that would mean my basic black keyboard is already perfect.

 

Blockbuster Video Inspired Eyeshadow Palette: For Browsing The New Releases

Blockbuster: once the powerhouse of VHS and DVD rentals, now a bygone dinosaur, killed by the meteor that was its inability to adapt to a changing marketplace. But to harken back to the days of actually having to drive somewhere to rent a movie, Hot Topic is selling these $14 Blockbuster inspired eyeshadow palettes, which even come in what looks like a VHS rental box.

I assumed the colors would all be blue and yellow, but there’s actually a variety, named after the different sections of a Blockbuster store, including (from top left to right): New Releases, Adventure, Classics, Drama, Family, Sci-Fi, Comedy, Fantasy, Cartoon, Horror, Action, and Television. Obviously, there are bonus points if you apply the eyeshadow with your Blockbuster membership card, which I still have in my wallet because you never know when the company might turn around.

When my local Blockbuster closed, the space went up for rent and it was eventually renovated into a cycling studio, which, and this might come as a surprise, I visit far less frequently than I did the Blockbuster. Or ever really.
