A4 Tech is launching a new keyboard soon that features a built in VOIP headset. The new keyboard, dubbed the IP-Talky Multimedia Keyboard, will be launched in Germany at CEBIT according to Gizmag.

Teh keyboard has an odd slanted key layout, that I can only assume is meant to be more comfortable and allow you to keep your hands at an angle and still hit the keys. After my recent experience with a Microsoft ergonomic Keyboard 4000, I am not so sure slanted keys are the best way for me to type.

Perhaps others will feel differently. The IP-Talky Multimedia Keyboard looks cool, but I wonder about the reason one would have to want their phone connected to their keyboard.
