I’ll tell ya, typing away at a keyboard can build up quite a workout. If you’re wanting to sweat there’s nothing like pounding away at keys while writing a blog. While it might be a good workout, sweaty wrists isn’t great for picking up the ladies or the keyboard itself.

Thanko has released a keyboard to make sure those wrists stay dry while your working the phalangies.  The Cooler USB Keyboard has three built-in fans that spew out cool air where your wrists sit. The keyboard has a switch so you can turn the fans off if you’re only doing a mild keyboard workout. For a keyboard with some built-in fans, $62 isn’t a bad deal at all.
