			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This keyboard is perfect for people who don&#8217;t have a lot of space on their desk. <a href="http://www.verbatim.com/products/detail-buy.cfm?product_id=9DDCEBEB-1143-3415-5F69B71ECB435DA4&amp;cat_id=9EC0B93D-1143-3415-5F47E3484B346DB6">Verbatim&#8217;s speaker keyboard</a> integrates a pair of speakers into the keyboard&#8217;s top edge. The keyboard also has dedicated audio controls and a backlight.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6935 aligncenter" title="verbatim_speaker_keyboard" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/verbatim_speaker_keyboard.jpg" alt="verbatim speaker keyboard" width="520" height="266" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think that the built-in speakers can match the quality of stand alone speakers. First of all, everything in the keyboard is powered via USB so unless we get an actual hands-on review of this thing, I&#8217;m going to assume that the sound coming from the speakers won&#8217;t be that loud or rich.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6916 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/speaker_keyboard.jpg" alt="speaker keyboard" width="520" height="277" title="speaker keyboard photo" /></p>
<p>Also, Verbatim doesn&#8217;t even have specs for the speakers on the product&#8217;s page; if this thing really sounds great for its size then Verbatim would be stupid not to flaunt the speakers. So for people who need audio on a cramped set-up, this one may simply be a choice between having so-so audio or no audio at all.</p>
<p>You can get the speaker keyboard for $71.24 over at <a href="http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=209110791&amp;SearchEngine=CJchannelintelligence&amp;SearchTerm=209110791&amp;Type=CJ">Buy.com</a>.</p>
