LowKey Stand



The LowKey Stand looks like a very cool concept, judging from the rendering above. It is a stand that you can perch your iMac or Cinema Display on, and slide your new Apple Keyboard underneath. It doesn't stop there, dear reader! The stand also sports an integrated 4 port USB 2.0 hub so you don't have to go fishing around on the back of your Mac for a port.

The LowKey Stand ships on February 15th, and will cost you $59.99.

From the Website (first link in the article):

Compact power adapter that won't take up more than 1 precious outlet.

So yes, it's powered.

Are these USB slots fully powered? It pisses me off that even though I KNOW it's possible (and without making it more expensive, probably), the keyboards STILL use shitty low-power USB slots instead of ones that I can actually, uh, hmm, what's that word? Oh yeah, USE!

Hmm.

About that price...

What do you expect from a product that is phonetically named after the norse god of mischief?

That's about the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Nice way to destroy your iMac's elegance.

I would love this, except
1) the USB hub is unnecessarily ugly (as much as I like the idea of a 4-port USB 2.0 hub--the iMac has cripplingly few USB ports), and
2) $59 seems like a lot of money for this.

Looks Great! Now I can get a wireless keyboard and still have easy access to USB ports.

I like the design, great solution for keeping the keyboard out of reach of a toddler.

yes, it's nice, but besides the occasional easy access for a single removable drive, the 4 port front facing USB hub is overkill.

Anyone that is anal enough to want to store the keyboard under the display every time they are not using it would freak out at any cables hanging off the hub.

"The perfect height of the stand provides a "home" for your keyboard, nothing will ever seem to be out of place on your desk any more."

Except your mouse, which will have its cable unceremoniously sticking out the side of the stand and won't fit inside the keyboard-onlyslot it would seem.

That's fine, but I've always used my Belkin USB hub as a stand for my iMac: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=199941

It's not what it was built for, but it works for me, since the iMacs don't have nearly enough USB ports for my liking.
