Is there such thing as a sexy keyboard?

Probably not - in fact the word sexy shouldn't really be used in tech at all, it's all rather wrong.

So we'll describe this Engrain wooden keyboard, designed by Michael Roopenian, as gorgeous. No, not gorgeous in a Megan Fox way, but in a I-want-it-on-my-desk way. (Which also applies to Megan Fox, by the way).

It's created by soundblasting a piece of solid wood, and its aim is to use "nature’s tactility to strengthen the relationship between user and interface", which all sounds a bit ridiculous if you ask us.

But we do love it - we're just sad it's only a concept.
