Innovative Mechanical Gadgets
Most of the latest gadgets used in mechanical technology include both utility products as well as unique and innovative items. Mechanical technology products essentially make use of mechanical power and are usually more environment friendly compared to other technologies. Mechanical technology was introduced before electrical, electronic and digital technologies took over. However, there are several product categories where mechanical technology is still the best because of its low operational costs and low maintenance requirements.
Mechanical Key Switch Keyboard
Many computer users around the world believe that keyboards with mechanical key switches are still the best. The mechanical keyboard sticks to the basic principles of mechanics and as a result delivers the highest efficiency from a typist’s point of view. It is more dependable, longer lasting and can withstand rough usage and handling easily. Once the user gets adapted to a mechanical keyboard, he probably won’t like using another keyboard in its place. This keyboard will help him to finish the work faster and causes less stress to the fingers. You can buy the Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard at a discounted price of $74.24 from Amazon.

Mechanical Timer with LED Light
This is a unique timer with an LED light that runs on mechanical energy. The base of the light must be rotated to set the timer. Thereafter, as the inner mechanism gradually unwinds itself, it will release enough energy to power the LED. So as the timer goes off, the light also goes off. This mechanical gadget is ideal for the kitchen where food can be prepared using a timer. So the tiny ambient glow continues to pervade while the timer is in use. This is a simple but interesting item among the latest gadgets used in mechanical technology. It is featured on Coolest Gadgets and is currently a concept design by Jasper Hou.
