Brace yourself for a cute overload. Hello Kitty, purveyors of all things pink and pretty, now offers this ultrathin keyboard for your typing pleasure.

I probably wouldn't think this product worthy of a blog post if I didn't personally know a handful of adult women who will squeal with delight at the idea of hunting and pecking on Japan's favorite feline's face adorned across the white keys.

The keyboard is imprinted with Japanese QWERTY characters, but I'm sure you can reroute the 108 keys to work with the English alphabet.

Like all things Hello Kitty, a little pink paint and a couple heart buttons will cost you a crippling $106.40--squeal away.

The ultrathinness is the best feature. Now, can they make it wireless and with a matching wireless mouse?
