6. All Talk
____________________________________________________________
http://www.ideazon.com/index.html
This week we came across the "Zboard" from Ideazon. A fantastic idea for users who play computer games or use software programs that have several different keyboard shortcut keys, or require the use of a keyboard frequently. Using these keyboards users can easily switch between different keyboard layouts for best performance as well as have a keyboard layout that also has the look and feel of the program or game they are using.
