Internet people know: you just can’t have enough add-ons. Wouldn’t a Death Star be a little better with phasers? Or what if Iron Man also turned into a race car that could drive a Voltron Lion with telepathy? Or what about if Reed Richards’s astral form moved into the body of a cyborg Superman that also had a handful of Green Lantern rings and worked for an alien warlord? Okay, maybe that last one was a stupid example.

Anyway, this is the sort of logic that brings us the wonderful Razer Pro|Type Keyboard with iPod Dock, Media Controls and USB Hub. The Razer Pro|Type Keyboard by itself is a nice piece of typing cheesecake. It is programmable, so all those special keys on the side can handle all your one-touch requirements. But it also allows up to ten different profiles that can be autoswapped on the fly, so you could have one named “Programming” and one named “Cyberchat” and one named “The Cake Is A Lie” and one named “Pizza Zombie” and basically never have to leave the computer again, except to get the door when the pizza zombie shows up with your dinner. Also the keys are ultra touch, which is the sort of poetic way Gertrude Stein would describe them had she ever known the sensual joy of typing out “omg brb”.

The Razer Pro|Type Keyboard also includes a line-out jack, which is ideal since it has an iPod dock built in. This removes the need for your iPod cable, freeing up precious desk real estate as we stand on the cusp of a housing crisis. And you can listen to your tunes!

While you listen, sync and charge your iPod, typing happily without cease, you also will be able to use the Razer Pro|Type Keyboard’s two convenient USB ports and the gold-plated USB connector (for maximum conductivity, don’t’cha’know). This powerhouse of efficiency also includes Media Hot Keys, giving you instant access to important media programs. And you get two iPod adaptors just to wrap it up.

We might never get to see what it would be like if Batman was a half-paladin multiclass bard-illusionist that flew his Spelljammer to Athas, but the Razer Pro|Type Keyboard with iPod Dock, Media Controls and USB Hub will make you feel better than seeing Manimal fight the lizards from V for control of Automan’s programming.
