Hit ‘enter’ at your peril

And so to the world of fashion, where Dutch company Nieuwe Heren has created a pair of keyboard jeans. That’s right, keyboard jeans, which the inventors think will sell for around $400. That’s far more than you could charge for a keyboard keyboard plus a pair of jeans jeans, so they had better be special. 

Ah, they’re not just keyboard jeans: they have a set of speakers and a wireless mouse in them too. We’re always criticising designs like this, which is a bit unfair of us, because it’s just too easy. 

On the practical side, reviewers have pointed out that the return key is in the middle of the crotch, which might or might not make typing more pleasurable for you. Functionally, one wonders exactly which situation will make it easier to type on your jeans compared to, for example, the keyboard of your laptop.
