What do fireplaces, beds, and toilet paper holders have in common? Yep, all of these products are available with built-in iPod docks. Clearly, all are fantastically good ideas, but the integrated dock in Razer's new Pro|Type keyboard seems just a tad more useful. The Pro|Type is essentially a carbon copy of Razer's masterful Tarantula gaming keyboard-except it's bright white and has an iPod dock affixed to the top. Besides the dock (which synched our 'pod perfectly) 10 customizable glowing macro keys, handy media buttons, and an ultra-responsive keypad make the Pro|Type the perfect peripheral for those who like dabbling in Photoshop between fragfests. Still, would it have killed Razer to include some sort of toilet paper dispensing functionality?

Shiny white coat lends polished look. Shorter key height makes speed typing effortless. Includes adapter for syncing both fifth and fourth generation iPods. Software works on PCs and Macs. Easily switches between 10 profiles for different programs. Solid build. Two USB ports and audio line out.
TIRED
Mac software offers fewer macro customization options (can't specify order of key presses or add delays.) Far too pricey for just a keyboard with an iPod dock. White exterior quickly shows grime, lint.
