SWITL Scoops Up Goopy Stuff Perfectly
This crafty Furukawa Kikou robot, the SWITL, scoops up goopy messes with ease and then can place them down again in the exact form they were picked up. I think it is amazing but can't think of too many uses for it in the real world. It was supposedly designed for bakeries that use soft […]
Beer Pint With Built-In Shot Glass
Live in a tiny house and don't have room for both pint glasses and shot glasses? Check out these clever glasses which feature a full sized pint glass on one side, and a 2-ounce shot glass on the other. Cool idea, but I recommend picking one side or the other for your night of drinking. […]

The Logitech G19 keyboard isn't exactly new, but it is still a very cool keyboard whether you are a gamer or not., Some features that I like are the built-in LCD monitor, the backlit keys (you can pick between several colors), the programmable keys with macros, and the two USB 2.0 ports up top.
