Brando is now selling the Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard. It’s is a tiny rechargeable backlit keyboard with 69 keys, a touchpad and a laser pointer. Yes, you read that right. This little guy has a built in laser pointer. It actually looks pretty cool. The price seems a bit steep though at $92.

Cut that price in half! Some Engadgeteer found it cheaper at TomTop for $48.99 with free shipping…

Damn! The plural on “lasers” led me thinking that these were multiple lasers on each keyboard.

And that somehow there were lasers for each key. (My mind soars very quickly.)

And then these laser would capture the finger gestures even if the fingers weren’t on the keys. (I told you my mind soars quickly.)

So that you could type in the air and the lasers would record the typing. (Soaring!)

The reality is so disappointing. (As reality often is.)

Sigh.

Haven’t tried it, but the wow factor is very high.

When I read the headline, I heard it in a Dr. Evil voice. With frickin’ lasers!
