键盘、鼠标等外设品发展到今天，已经从实用型向概念型转变，不少厂商绞尽脑汁推创意产品，不仅在功能和性能上力求创新，在外观上也争取与众不同。这样一来，不仅可以拉升品牌的形象，而且也证明了其出色的研发和生产能力，不过，这在国内品牌中还是很少见的。今天，笔者将为大家介绍几款个性十足但价格高的令人咋舌的键盘，供大家评论与欣赏。
一款售价超过490美元（约合3900元人民币）的怪异键盘出现在市场上，这款名为Maltron的键盘号称史上最符合人体工程学的键盘，能够最有效的利用人们的十根手指，并保证它们的健康，这款键盘的制造商宣称如果适应了这款键盘的独特键位之后，使用者可以以前所未有的速度进行文字输入，并且在长时间的工作之后并不会产生明显的疲劳。
Maltron键盘
制造这款键盘基于这样一个理由：人的十个手指并不是一样长的，所以使用键盘工作的时候它们并不能按照各自的长度舒服地保持在一个平面上，这也就是为什么传统键盘会让人感到难受的主要原因，而Maltron键盘采用了全新的键位架构，可以保证每根手指都可以舒服的放置在键盘上。并且这款键盘每一个按键都采用了Cherry的MX Switch机械键，机械键最大的优点就是寿命长，长时间使用手感一致无变化，而且手感极好。目前这款键盘已经在美国上市，至于如此怪异的造型和超高的价格不知道会有多少消费者选购。

于9月初在韩国市场上推出三维激光虚拟键盘“CL850”，这种键盘将由一个使用3D技术的便携式设备来进行激光控制。该产品采用蓝牙功能，并配备了USB端口，可以与移动终端连接使用。预计售价为15万韩元（约1,218.13 人民币）。
三维激光虚拟键盘
三维激光虚拟键盘是为蓝牙手机和带有蓝牙功能的PDA等小型掌上设备所设计的，在外观上同一个打火机差不多大小，它集激光和红外于一身，在工作时会发射出两束光线，分别用来感应用户位置和投影虚拟键盘，可以在任何平坦的地方投影出一个295×95mm大小的63键全尺寸键盘虚拟，使用者可以把它当作普通键盘使用。敲击三维激光虚拟键盘时，三维激光虚拟键盘会自动识别使用者敲击的位置并通过蓝牙传输给手机或PDA，让使用者更方便快速的进行文字输入。而且它内置可充电式锂电池，不用消耗手机或PDA的电池电量，不过一次充电后的使用时间只有2个多小时，未免稍短了一些。
其实，虚拟键盘产品已经发明有段时间了，但真正在市面上销售的却极少，有也几乎是在网络上销售。三维激光虚拟键盘“CL850”虽然要即将在韩国市场销售，但具体有多少用户买账？相信广大消费者对这个新产品还是抱有怀疑态度，具体传输性能如何，只有上市以后经历时间的考验了。

Cherry的英文译为“樱桃”，在外设产品领域里，口碑一向被广大玩家认可，作为全球顶级专业键盘制造商之一，Cherry主要从事电脑周边键盘以及Switch（轴），其生产的产品有的来源于德国，也有的来源于捷克。这款茶轴是樱桃键盘四大轴里最为昂贵的。

Cherry樱桃茶轴机械键盘是Cherry樱桃键盘里最为昂贵的一款，Cherry樱桃机械键盘压力克数较轻，段落感非常明显，键入感觉可以说十分舒适。

编辑点评：Cherry樱桃机械键盘用料扎实、做工优良，用户使用起来会感觉很踏实，随便怎么操作，手感始终稳定如初。而且其还有一个重要优点便是使用寿命较长。不过，一向只出高端产品的樱桃，这款茶轴也不列外，售价高达1200元。

Stealthcomputer公司推出的这款键盘型号为2000-DT-TB，分为USB接口和PS/2接口两种，它的售价高达1195美元，约合成人民币在9000元左右。暂且不论是不是会有人来购买这么昂贵的产品，首先还是来看看这款键盘的一些特性。
2000-DT-TB键盘
Stealthcomputer公司称推出的2000-DT-TB键盘采用114键设计，其中包括24个功能键和10个数字键。外科采用了质量极好的不锈钢制成，符合NEMA 4X的保护规格，按键则采用工业硅树脂橡胶制成。
该键盘还有一个独特的设计便是侧边的滑轮，位于数字键区旁的小圆球可以充当鼠标的功能，通过转动便可进行操作，在清理的时候则可以取下。
售价1195美元
2000-DT-TB键盘上还带有编程键，用户可预先进行编辑实现各种功能。
此外，该键盘还可在零下40度到90度的工作环境下进行操作，按键的使用寿命可达一千万次以上。2000-DT-TB键盘的外形大小为514.35mm*200.7mm*48.3mm，键盘的数据线长为3.94米。

消息称，这款键盘售价在1200美元左右（合人民币9000多元）。相信多数人会被这个售价所吓倒，但设计这款键盘的工作人员透露，这个价格还是亏本卖。
Optimus键盘
Art Lebedev工作室表示，Optimus键盘总共有103个按键，按照目前的制造成本，每个按键的成本为10美元，这样算下来，光键盘的成本就达到了1030美元，加上其他成本，1200美元的售价其实还亏不少。从设计人员的话中，我们也就不难明白这款键盘为何一再推迟发布。

Art Lebedev工作室表示已经打算投入10万美元来生产按键上的显示屏幕，并希望在明年的春天可以出一些样品，此外，有关这款键盘的进一步开发也在进行中，工作人员计划在按键中集成光传感器，这样按键的显示屏便可根据周围的环境自动调节亮度。
编辑点评：不可否认，这纯粹是一款发烧级键盘，它已经脱离了键盘的实用范围，完全就是一款顶级奢侈品，不过，这款键盘1200美元（合人民币9000多元）的售价也的确令人大跌眼镜，但并不实用。

这款键盘是由紫檀木作为原材料，并且全部为手工打造的。在日本，这款键盘的售价达262500日元，约合人民币19950元，近乎2万元的高贵键盘，即便是罗技、微软等大牌也没有一款键盘超过2万元的售价。

你可以感叹木质键盘的工艺是如此优良，但你也可以为其售价大呼奢侈。这款木质键盘售价262500日元，约合人民币19950元。木质键盘虽然看上去古色古香，但毕竟属于奢侈品范围之列，笔者个人认为它的观赏性要远远大于其实用性。
写在最后：以上的几款键盘均来源于国外外设品牌，其中不少高端键鼠不但售价惊人，甚至可以定义为奢侈产品。不过，虽然此类产品售价昂贵，但却不乏有些骨灰级发烧友，忠实拥护者无数，而部分产品如：罗技多功能无线蓝牙键盘diNovo Edge已经被国内玩家购得，而它们的价格也只适合那些狂热的外设发烧友和喜欢收藏各种奢侈品的收藏家。

THIS IS LAVISH --- the seven most exorbitant keyboards
1. Maltron, ￥3900
Keyboards, mouses, and other computer peripheral equipments of today have been changing from practicality over to conceptuality. Manufacturers rack their brains to develop products out of ingenuity not only in function and performance but also in appearance, hence proving their outstanding research and production capacity as well as promoting the brand image. I’ll introduce several singularly unique but at the same time extremely exorbitant keyboards here for readers’ comments and enjoyment.
A keyboard priced at more than US$490 (approx. ￥3900) appeared on the market. Named Maltron, it is claimed to be the most ergonomic keyboard ever in history, making use of users’ ten fingers most effectively while fully assuring their health. The manufacturer promises a long-time text input at an unprecedented speed without obvious tiredness once the user has adapted to the special layout of the keyboard.
The design of this keyboard was based on this fact: the different lengths of human fingers make them unable to keep to the same plane comfortably while working on a keyboard, which is the main reason why users find the traditional keyboards very uncomfortable. Maltron keyboards have designed fire-new key layout to assure that every finger should be comfortably laid on the keyboard. Moreover, every key on this keyboard is a MX Switch mechanical key, which has long durability as the biggest advantage and feels constantly wonderful after long-time use. This keyboard has been on the market in America, but it remains to be seen how many consumers will be tempted by this peculiar sculpt and excessive price will.
2.Logitech multi-functional wireless Bluetooth keyboard diNovo Edge, ￥1799
On 9th August, Logitech put its first multi-functional Bluetooth keyboard diNovo Edge onto the Chinese market. Apart from the traditional diNovo multimedia functions, a recharging stand that was only seen on Logitech’s high-end mouses are also introduced into this model, making it the first rechargeable keyboard. This high-end keyboard of Logitech has entered Chinese market since August at a price of ￥1799, intended for high-end businessmen and fashionable home users.
Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard integrates many high-tech elements of fashionably luxurious appearance, pleasant tactility, and multimedia functions and is fit for both home entertainment and business application. It will surely make a perfect addition to the living room, where an increasing number of people are using their computers. The ultra-slim design of less than 2cm, the keycaps laser-cut out of a whole piece of translucent acrylic glass, and the metal-coated frame combine to create an air of prestige and luxury.
With regard to multimedia control, this first-rate multimedia keyboard of Logitech carries a TouchDisc panel which combines such mouse functions as horizontal and vertical scroll, selection, and cursor control. Just a light touch on the raised marks on the upper and right parts of the Disc launches the operation of high-speed scroll, which makes document and webpage navigation easier.
A touch-sensitive volume slider above the TouchDisc enables one to adjust the computer’s volume with the sliding of his fingertips, which volume control method is often seen on some high-end laptops. The Fn keys of a laptop keyboard, which can function as shortcut keys, are also seen on this model.
Most of the Logitech high-end wireless mouses are equipped with a recharging stand. So is this model of Logitech wireless Bluetooth keyboard. It has a fashionable and fabulous appearance and facilitated with the plug-and-play feature. Its Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology allows a range up to ten meters and makes it more suitable for sitting room and conference room use.
3. 3D laser virtual keyboard CL850, ￥1200
A 3D laser virtual keyboard, CL850 will appear in South Korea early September. The laser control of this keyboard will be performed by a portable 3D enabled device. It is embedded with the Bluetooth technology and equipped with USB interfaces to be connected with mobile terminals. It’s expected to be sold for 150,000 won (approx. ￥1,218.13).
The size of a lighter, the 3D laser virtual keyboard is designed for such small hand-held devices as Bluetooth cellphones and Bluetooth enabled PDAs. Embedded with both laser and infrared respectively for detecting the position of the user and for projecting the virtual keyboard, it sends out two beams of light projecting on any flat surface a 63-key full-size virtual keyboard of 295×95mm to be used as a common keyboard. When the user is hitting on the 3D laser virtual keyboard, it will automatically locate the hit spot and transmit the information through Bluetooth to the cellphones or PDAs. It provides thus a more convenient and faster text input process. It is also internally installed with rechargeable lithium cells so that it won’t consume the battery power of the cellphones or PDAs. But an uptime of over two hours on one charge is a little bit short.
In fact, virtual keyboards have existed for some time, but there are few of them available in the market and if there are any, they are mostly sold online. Though the 3D laser virtual keyboard Cl850 will soon make its appearance in South Korean market, how many users will be lured? It’s believed that most consumers have reservations about the new product and its actual transmission capability has to undergo the test of time after its debut.
4. Cherry “Brown Axis” key switches model, ￥1200
Translated into English as “Cherry”, this brand has won constant recognition from players in the field of peripherals. As one of the world’s top professional keyboard manufacturers, Cherry specializes in computer peripheral keyboards and keyswitches. Part of its products come from German and part from Czech. The brown switch is the most expensive among the four types of Cherry switches.
The “brown axis” key switch model is the most expensive of Cherry keyboards. With light operating force and obvious punctuation, it gives wonderful typing feel.
Editor’s commentary: the users of Cherry mechanical keyboards may rest assured of its constant tying feel provided by the selected materials and superb workmanship. Another important feature of Cherry mechanical keyboards is long service life. But this “brown axis” key switch model is no exception to the Cherry high-end pricing: it’s sold at ￥1200.
5. Stealthcomputer 2000-DT-TB model, ￥9000
The newly unveiled Stealthcomputer 2000-DT-TB model is available with PS/2 cables or USB connectors and sold at $1195 (approx. ￥9000). Putting aside the question whether there would be anyone attracted by it at such a price, let’s have a look at some of the features of this keyboard.
The Stealthcomputer 2000-DT-TB model features 114-key functionality, including 24 function keys and a 10-key number pad. It is constructed using quality stainless steel case and industrial silicone rubber pad, ensuring NEMA 4X protection.
A unique feature of the 2000-DT-TB is the trackball beside the number pad. The removable ball can be turned to perform the function of a mouse and removed for convenient cleaning.
The 2000-DT-TB is built with a programmable button, with which the users can edit various functions.
The working temperature range for the keyboard is -40℃-90℃. It has a 10 million cycles expected life. The dimensions of the keyboard are 514.35mm*200.7mm*48.3mm, the length of the data line is 3.94 metres.
6. Art Lebedev Optimus, ￥9000
Words are that this keyboard will be sold for about US$1200 (approx. ￥9000). Most people may be daunted by this price, but, according to the designers, this is sold at a sacrifice.
The Art Lebedev Studio introduced that the Optimus keyboard has 103 keys, each made at a cost of US$10 and thus the mere cost of the keyboard up to US1030. If other expenses are taken into account, a price of US$1200 is far from making up the cost. From what was said by the designers, we can easily understand why the launch of this model of keyboard was kept postponed.
· programmable shortcut keys, displaying various images in accordance with different programs
· photoshop and Quake users can edit their own shortcut keys according to their habits
The Art Lebedev Studio announces a plan to invest US$100,000 in the screens on the keycaps and hopes the next spring will see some samples. The further development of the keyboard is also underway. The designers plan to integrate light sensors in the keys so that the screens might adjust its brightness automatically in accordance with the environment.
Editor’s commentary: To be sure, this model is sheerly for those afflicted with the keyboard fever. Totally out of the utility range, it’s a top-notch luxury. The price of US$1200 (approx. ￥9000) is indeed eye-catching but not at all practical
7. wooden keyboards for 20000 Yuan
Made out of rosewood and purely handmade, the noble keyboard sells at a price of 262500 yens in Japan (approx. ￥19900). That is not even seen in keyboards bearing such big names like Logitech or Microsoft.
You may well marvel over the craftsmanship of a wooden keyboards and you are also at liberty accusing its exorbitance. This model in question is sold at 262500 yen and that approximates 19950 RMB. Quaint and enchanting as they may be, a wooden keyboard is after all a luxury and I personally consider its ornamental value far over its utility value.
At the end: the above models of keyboards are all from foreign peripheral brands. Many of these high-end models are sold at astoundingly high prices and can well be labeled as luxuries. Despite the exorbitant prices, they have innumerable hardcore fans and some products like Logitech multi-functional wireless Bluetooth keyboard diNovo Edge, whose prices are also only fit for those feverish peripheral fans and luxury collectors, have been procured by some players here in China.
