It seems these days that the good stuff is only being sold in Japan and the rest of the world has to just wait and hope that it comes across Pacific sooner than later. Just a few days back we saw the exclusive Manga Keyboard released in the Far East and now it is the turn of the latest in the line up of silent keyboards that makes its way onto store shelves. Thanko have already created quite a buzz and have sold many, many keyboards with their first generation ‘silent’ keyboard and now it is the turn of the next step in evolution. The EX is designed to further cut down on the noise factor when you type by bringing down the decibel count to just 44.5 dB.

This makes the EX 16.5 dB less noisy than any other keyboard in the market today and if you thought that was all then Thanko has more in store for you… quite literally! The silent EX Keyboard comes bundled with Silent Mouse EX; the package exclusively available in only Japan at retail price. Heartening news for Japanese and heart-breaking for techno-geeks across the world!
