Laser keyboard

HERE’S a new type of keyboard that’s light work for your fingers. It projects the letters onto your desk with a laser. Launched by Maplin, it’s designed for PDAs so you can type on the go.
It creates a fully functional keyboard by optically tracking finger movements. But we couldn’t make it work straight from the box, so geeks will have to surrender to their fears—and read the manual. Light years ahead though. £119.99 at maplin.co.uk
