Keyboard Jeans

A product concept from Dutch design company Nieuwe Heren. The wireless, flexible keyboard sewn into the jeans was fully functional. However, the jeans could not be machine washed.

As far as I know, these remained a concept and never made it to market. But the company said that, if they were ever to sell these jeans, they'd price them at around £250 ($325).

Almost as good as Dan Hartman's bass guitar suit, which actually worked! That was covered in these very pages some time in the last few years, I believe.

Are you playing with yourself or just sending emails?

I remember several small computer magazines carrying articles or announcements about these back when. The comments were rude, impolite and funny as heck. ges has the gist of them in one sentence.

If you had to share your keyboard with someone, it could be a problem. Or not. 😊

all it needs is a hole modified to fit your joystick between the g & h keys.

I do not want to know where the WiFi antenna goes . . .
