The Orée Wooden Keyboard- I’m Very Important. I Have Many Leather-bound Books, and my Apartment Smells of Rich Mahogany.
I love the feel of anything made of wood, and I imagine these fantastic keyboards are no exception. To keep the patterns of the graining intact, each keyboard is carved from a single piece of wood, giving them the feeling that they organically grew into useful items. You are able to pick your character set and layout, whether you want a Windows or Mac style keyboard, engrave it with a custom phrase, and even choose the font used. Once you’ve ordered, it takes about 4 weeks to carve and assemble your wooden keyboard. The precision and beauty of these are undeniable.
The key features of the Orée Wooden Keyboard have obviously been well thought out- built in France by designers who got sick and tired of seeing assembly line, cookie cutter technology that all looks identical and is designed to become obsolete before you get it home, here are their descriptions of the most important facets of the Orée:
- BUILT TO LAST
Based on high quality components & materials to maximize durability & reliability. Each Board is polished, oil-rubbed and assembled by hand in our workshop to offer a genuine & perfect finish. - LOW – POWER BLUETOOTH
Powered by a Bluetooth 3.0 chipset from Broadcom (BCM20730) which enables several months of continuous operation on a single pair of AAA batteries.
The choice to use wood came not only from seeking a more manly and elegant material, but also from wanting to be able to recycle any production waste easily and using one of the Earth’s cleanest and most renewable resource in the first place. The result is a one of the best looking keyboards we’ve ever seen, and one that any man would be proud to leave laying around his man cave in the hopes of having some of its classiness disguise the fact that he forgot to close his porn window. Since each one is hand oiled, it will pick up a rich patina as you use it- no worn down shiny plastic keys or crusty splotches here… though I’d suggest washing your hands after the Cheetos.
Learn more about the Orée Wooden Keyboard at the website- each piece costs around $160, which sounds expensive, but I think is worth every penny, considering some French bro is going to spend a month hand carving it for you. If you need something that will class up your den, impart manly wisdom to your technology, or to inspire you to try whittling anything that looks like it could be wood, then consider snagging the Orée Wooden Keyboard. Out of respect for such an awesome piece, I’m refraining from closing with an “every man needs his wood” joke- you’re welcome.
