We can't really claim to be big spenders here at Crave. Sure, we may splash out when it comes to lunchtime, but we're otherwise keeping our change as chunky as possible. That's why we had to pick our chins up off the floor when we saw the price of the Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard from Russia's Art Lebedev Studio. It's available for €1,193, or about £940. For a keyboard that expensive, it should be thinking our thoughts and typing them for us.

If the Optimus Maximus keyboard is a little over the top for you, too, the upcoming Optimus Pultius may be more suitable. Instead of a full keyboard, this one has only 15 keys, each sporting an individual OLED display that can be customised to show whatever graphic you want.  Click here for more

What could be better than a remote that finds your remote? A device that will find four of them at the same time, all from one base.

The Remote Buddy Stylish (we don't know what the 'Stylish' refers to either) is a caddy with colour-coded buttons that correspond to individual remotes. When one or more inevitably gets lost, it will send a signal to the remote to help locate it, according to 7Gadgets. Presumably it comes with RFID tags, or similar, in coloured stickers that you attach to your hoofers. Click here for more

We've seen our fair share of Internet video cameras in our time, and the one thing they all have in common is the fact they're all either rubbish, broken in some way or just plain… sucky.

One Internet video camera that doesn't fall into any of these categories is the Y-cam. Not only is it flippin' gorgeous and built like a brick house, but it's also packed with features and extremely easy to set up -- something rival camera manufacturers should notice.

The Y-cam connects to networks via Ethernet -- you'll have to supply your own cable, unfortunately -- or via 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. It runs at a resolution at 640x480 pixels, so picture quality is YouTube-esque, but the frame rate stayed high in our tests -- in the region of 25 frames per second.

Combine that reliability with the Y-cam's infrared mode, and you have yourself a product that's extremely versatile.  Click here for more

Remember the spork, a cross between a spoon and a fork? Always fans of shovelling stuff into ourselves more efficiently, we loved the idea, but it never really took off, did it? The Bluetrek Bizz is trying the same trick: it's a Blutooth headset with a built-in USB flash drive, although under spork naming conventions should have been called the USBlue.

We like the idea almost as much as the spork, but we're not sure if this will ever be any more successful. The Bizz is a comfortable headset that works as expected and the added USB functionality is rather useful, eliminating the need to carry two devices. Click here for more

IP Web cameras are great. Crave once used one to catch a cleaner who habitually left prank messages on our Dictaphone. Prior to our camera investment, we were clueless as to which idiot was recording himself shouting, "Ho ho ho, merry Christmas!" in an Uzbek accent in the middle of July. Needless to say, that particular chap no longer works here.

All those memories came flooding back when the Edimax IC-7000 IP camera arrived at Crave. It's better than your average webcam, as its lens housing tilts and rotates to help you track a moving target. Plus it supports real-time video and audio via a Web browser and has infrared LED lights for night-vision.

Like any decent IP camera, it has a motion detector feature that starts recording whenever anything crosses its path. There's also a 4x digital zoom, so you can get a little tighter on the pixellated 640x480-pixel faces of the pranksterous gits trespassing on your property. Click here for more

Want twin graphics cards, but your motherboard only has one PCI Express slot? We think we may have found the solution. We've just been playing with the Asus EN9800 GX2, a graphics adaptor that combines two separate graphics processing units in a single... box thingy. Think dual-core, but for 3D games.

The first thing we noticed about the card was that it's absolutely immense. It's bigger than any other graphics card we can remember and resembles a miniature metallic coffin. It's gorgeous, though -- we actually had people gathering round gawking at its sturdy metallic frame and drooling on the artwork.  Click here for more

We've seen pretty much every type of computer case known to man. There were cases made from animal carcasses and Media Center cases we've stuffed full of quiet components, but we've never in our lives seen a Coolermaster Cosmos S. Until today.

This, dear friends, is the 'sports' version of the Cosmos 1000. The two aren't that different, but the S edition brings some funky design touches that'll appeal to the boy racer in everyone: it has a gunmetal aluminium finish, a top-mounted mesh panel, a touch-sensitive power button, dedicated watercooling ports and a ginormous 200mm fan on the side panel. Click here for more

Regular readers may have encountered the ideological schisms that split Crave down the middle like the English Channel at the start of Dad's Army. The Mac vs PC debate regularly leads to medieval duelling, while Cravers wave their Nokia N95s and iPhones like blades in West Side Story-style dance rumbles in the back alleys of Southwark. But the fiercest conflict is between those fuddy-duddy traditionalists who favour the out-dated, finger-cramping mouse, and the forward-thinking, finger-snapping young dandies that glide effortlessly across the screen with a graphics tablet. Having got on well with the market-dominating Wacom, we tried out the Aiptek SlimTablet 600u. Click here for more

Drawing is fun. The idea of a graphics tablet -- drawing on a flat pad with a stylus pen and having the resulting squiggles appear on screen -- has always appealed to Crave's illustrative side. But how practical are they in everyday life? Since the computer became ubiquitous, we find ourselves holding a mouse far more than we hold a pen, with the result that our handwriting has devolved into something a GP would struggle to read, while our right hand sometimes resembles a malformed claw. That's why we bit the bullet and tried the Wacom Bamboo tablet.

It's not for everyone -- this Crave post does not represent the views of all Cravers still ruled by the tyranny of the mouse -- but we loved using the Wacom Bamboo tablet for everyday imput. It's fun and quick, and way more comfortable than a mouse. The pen replicates the features of a mouse, so you can scroll without touching the pen to the tablet, while a rocker button on the side allows you to right-click. These buttons, and the four buttons on the tablet, are customisable. We set our tablet hotkeys to copy and paste, and go back or forwards while browsing. Scrolling and zooming can also be controlled by the tablet touch ring. Click here for more

Just when we thought innovation was dead, up pops Lite-On with a genuinely interesting concept. Meet the Moldable Mouse -- a peripheral you can sculpt into whatever shape you can imagine.

Instead of you having to contort your hands to the shape of the mouse, the Moldable Mouse conforms to the shape of your hands -- great news for lefties and people with superfluous fingers. You simply press it into your preferred shape, then gradually tweak it until it feels like an extension of your hand. Or something rude.

Unlike ordinary mice, which use hard plastics, the Moldable Mouse is made of non-toxic, lightweight clay, covered with nylon and a polyurethane blend fabric. The shape is self-retaining and the entire thing can be printed with a variety of colours or designs to make it even more personal to the user.  Click here for more
