The Chosen Keyboard

Chosen Keyboard For a long time there have been only a few options if you wanted Hebrew on your keyboard. Your options were to spend two hours pasting stickers onto your keyboard like a 5 year old doing a bad Science Fair Project (cursing yourself repeatedly for getting every single sticker crooked), or to buy a keyboard with the letters already printed on it (usually imported from Israel).

Either way, your keyboard is going to draw stares from people who aren’t Jewish and it is not the best option for people like me who don’t type in Hebrew all the time. In a previous post, I explained how to easily set up a transliterated keyboard. Lots of people have used this and I can tell you that I myself have peeled the stickers off of my laptop because this was so much easier to use.

But, what do you do if you still want the feel of Hebrew without actually having Hebrew on your keyboard? (I know there are at least 1 or 2 people out there who are looking for this.) The Chosen Keyboard is the answer. This keyboard sticker set is set in a typeface that is English letters but looks like Hebrew. Put the stickers on your keyboard and laugh as you confuse yourself while trying to type basic things, and unlike every other sticker set I have seen it is actually reusable which is a neat little feature.

The “Chosen Keyboard” can be yours today for the low low price of $3.99

Peel. Stick. Convert.

Get it for the co-worker in your office who wishes they were Jewish or for the co-worker who desperately wishes they weren’t.
