With all the emphasis on brushed aluminum, glass, and plastic as the standard materials for design these days, a product that uses a more tactile material is a relief. Although a little strange to think about at first, the Oree Board, a wooden Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad available in maple or walnut is a pretty merger of old-world materials and new-world technology.
The Oree Board looks like a regular keyboard, just a little more natural. What is really impressive about the product is that each one is distinct from another because of the variability of the wood. I’m curious to know how one would feel while typing, because each letter and number is precisely cut into each key with a little depth and texture.
To make things even more customizable, you can choose from certain keyboard layouts, typefaces, and personal engravings surrounded by woodland themed images. Immediately, your Oree Board is set apart from your neighbors. And even if you’re in a cavernous research library, you might still feel like you’re leaning on a tree with your fingers clicking away at the hardwood board.
