Finally, A Keyboard With a LOL Button

By Mark Lorenz on February 16th, 2010

Lol-1For too long, keyboards have been absent a very basic function: the ability to type colloquial internet speak with the PUSH OF A BUTTON. Usually you need to push like, three, and who has that kind of time?

Well, keyboard manufacturers are counting on you not having that kind of time. They’re counting on you to hit buttons to write LOL instead of typing out LOL. See what I did there? I just wrote LOL several times, without the assistance of a keyboard.

You know what’d be really appropriate? A keyboard with a GTFO button. Or a TL;DR. But again, I managed to type all of those out rather quickly, without breaking my neck.

Are we lazy as a nation? Do we lead the sort of lives that lend themselves well to abbreviations via keyboard? Are we overthinking this pivotal, yet seminal landmark in computing, where every keyboard may one day be blazened with the emblems of easy browsing? BRB, LOL, WTF, WHODAT, OMFG–the list goes on and on.

So if you want to subject yourself to the torture of quick-typing internet memes, just buy the LOL keyboard from fast finger keyboards. Or, stab yourself. Those are the only two options I really see.
