    It’s the playstations and Nintendos that always had a worthwhile ascetic. The kind of line and color that would be attractive next to a DVD player or Stereo receiver.

    The Microsoft consoles meanwhile seemed to stick to that anti-ascetic popular with juvenile-boy coded gross-out toys. And this keyboard leans into that hard.
