The ubiquitous invaders from space have adorned many a product, and now you can think about those aliens every time you sit down at your computer to type a memo or surf the web.

Despite the overuse of the word “Board” in ElectroJoe’s Bendiboard Retroboard Invaders keyboards, they’re anything but boring. Not only does this keyboard feature pixelated images of the retro 8-bit invaders on all the keys, it’s completely flexible, so you can roll it up and throw it in your bag for easy travel.

And if you happen to spill a can or two of Red Bull or get your orange Cheetos dust all over it, you’ll be fine, since it’s sealed, dustproof and spill-proof. Pretty much anything you can throw at these aliens should just wipe easily off the keys.

As an added bonus, these invaders won’t eat any quarters no matter how many times you press the keys. Perfect for playing a game of Space Invaders on your PC, the keyboards are available now from UK gadget retailers BB-Shopping or 101Gear for £19.99 (appx. $39 USD).

Speaking of playing some Space Invaders on your PC…

Unotron’s line of washable keyboards, mice and Smartcard readers can all be submerged under running water and cleaned with antibacterial cleansers. Designed primarily for environments where cleanliness is a must, like hospitals, schools and food-handling environments, all of their computer accessories are designed to prevent the invasion of dust and water, even when under high pressure. Prices are actually pretty reasonable, with wired and wireless keyboards ranging from about $50 up to $80, mice from $50 to $70 and Smartcard readers from $25 to $30.

If you have kids, or work in an environment where stuff just gets dirty, these accessories are definitely worth checking out.
