Verbatim’s New Speaker Keyboard

Verbatim’s Speaker Keyboard that comes with built-in stereo speakers located on its top tilted edge, relying on USB connectivity to power the speakers as well as its backlight.

The keyboard has a raised wedge housing the stereo speakers and some other controls for your music playback habits. The whole ensemble is powered by your USB port, whether we’re thinking about the audio or the backlight. The first thing that came to our attention is that the Verbatim Speaker Keyboard sports no headphone connector, meaning that you can’t go personal with your music in case you’re in the same room with some people who simply cannot find anything cool in Cannibal Corpse’s track “The Bleeding.” And if we link this with the fact that the USB chipset of the keyboard will automatically override your computer’s previous settings, we get a picture that’s significantly lesser on the functionality side.

Of course, you get transport controls and a volume knob, but they won’t do in our case. We were almost willing to stop asking why not buy some top-notch desktop speakers and enjoy hefty bass and crisp audio but we saw the price for the Verbatim Speaker Keyboard: $75 is definitely too much for such a gadget, unless you’re desperately looking to have a keyboard that very few others would ever get; for Mac or for PC.
