1000he-skin

The Asus Eee PC 1000HE keyboard has flat keys with spaces in between them. It’s attractive and functional, since the surface area of each key is wide, while the the spaces between the keys are great enough to make it easy for touch typists to feel their way around the keyboard.

But what if you want a bit more flare? One Eee PC 1000HE owner decided to measure the keys and use a laser cutter to create a skin that fits perfectly over the keyboard and fills the spaces. He’s also begun selling them on eBay for $19.99 a piece. They’re available in a variety of colors, and while they don’t provide any real functionality, the skins are pretty slick looking.

    I suppose it is only apt that as this technology goes full circle and returns to the calculator-style keyboards we had on early home computers, that similar accessories become available. I remember having a pack of about twenty of these for my ZX Spectrum that could be annotated with the keyboard functions for flight simulations, Elite etc etc... Bit cheaper too.

    This is so useless and such a waste of time AND material.
  • I don't take my laptop outdoors very often, but I am still considering to get these keyboard skins. Why take a chance ?
