MyKeyO Keyboard Organizer - top kit for anal-retentives

[Bob Crabtree]

Far better, surely, to lift off the top of your keyboard when needing a pen, pencil, paperclip or rubber than to have to reach all the way over to the pen pot which some strange people think is okay to have in full public viewON a desk?

That could be surprisingly helpful tbh.

I laid a trap last night for one of my very best friends who is an obsessively tidy bloke with a titchy small desk that he built himself a few years ago to house his then magnificent Amstrad 286 computer.

I sent him a link to the product's home page asking him what he thought of it (truth is I had him in mind when I wrote the piece) but, sadly, he didn't take the bait.

Instead, he wrote back saying,

I think if you did a lot of typing the noise of all those bits inside rattling might annoy you [David Ross - this would absolutely kipper you, you rattly old typist. Bob]. And it wouldn't work for me because I turn my keyboard on its side when I'm not using it to give me more desk space and I guess everything would fall out. Plus I need a curvy keyboard.

Otherwise I can't see it doing any harm as long as the keyboard is good quality and it's certainly more useful than the Jegs Finger Disco Light.

Oh and the Jegs Finger Disco Light - a product about which I was sent a press release MANY years ago - was, believe it or not, a finger ring, bearing a small light powered by a battery pack.

The idea was that you put the battery pack in your pocket, run the ring and cable up your sleeve, pop the ring on your finger and then, at the disco you can do light-pointing tricks as you dance.

The release from Jegs (a wholesaler who may or may not still be in business) said that the Finger Disco Light had a 1001 other (more practical) uses.

What any of those were I simply can't remember but doubtless the good people here abouts will be able to imagine some for themselves (and ideally, tell us about them).

I thought this was a family forum.

Anyway, it should be 'Organiser' and 'built-in'.

I could see it being a good place for teenagers to hide 'things' from their technophobe parents (better than in the bottom of your sock draw)

Now there's a thought - and a possible topic for a completely new thread in a different forum area:
