Woodern Keyboard & Optical Mouse


If you think about it, as a society, we’ve moved away from more natural materials (wood, clay, fibres) and replaced them with a massive range of plastic-based compounds. However, plastic materials have a nasty impact on the environment, often taking thousands of years to break down. However, a rather novel green gadget by a UK company is a wooden optical mouse and wooden keyboard.

These rather impressive looking wooden eco gadgets are made from 4 year old bamboo, which has been aged to give it strength and an attractive look. Unfortunately, the keys are wood-coloured plastic, rather than wood themselves, but the idea is great. The keyboard and mouse are completely conventional in operation, so you won’t have any compatibility issues with your computer.
