Hey guys, remember the Cideko air keyboard/mouse combo I was lusting after last June? According to German site Netbook News, Cideko has partnered with MSI to be able to reach out more customers.

For those too lazy to read my first article, screw you. But let’s hug it out while I tell you what’s so nice about this device. As you can see it’s a wireless keyboard, but what you can’t see is that it has an accelerometer which lets users use the whole thing as a mouse as well. The left and right mouse buttons are located on its shoulder, so you don’t have to shift your grip in between typing and mousing.

The keyboard has a USB dongle, giving it a range of up to 50 m and making it compatible with major operating systems. Watch as this talking plaid shirt demos the keyboard and gives tips on proper usage:

Remember: chu conchol the keyborrh, genchly turrh yo wrish, do nah mooh yo arrhm dish weih.

The air keyboard will go on sale in Germany this March for €79 (approx. $106 USD)… but a quick search shows that a non-MSI rebranded version is already on sale at Amazon for only $90! Now if only I had a credit card.
