If you prefer the laptop experience on your desktop or perhaps you use a Mac mini as your home theatre computer, then BulletTrain has a new release just for you -- it’s unibody aluminum platform to combine your wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad.
9to5Mac is reporting that BulletTrain has announced the Express Aluminum Keyboard Platform, a stylish, patent-pending slab with spaces for your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad, bringing a more ergonomic laptop-style experience to any computer.
“The Patent Pending BulletTrain Express Aluminum Keyboard reinvents the desktop keyboard and will completely revolutionize the way you use your desktop keyboard by giving you a super-stylish, super-ergonomic keyboard that is built to last,” the BulletTrain website touts. “Beside being the best looking keyboard ever made, the anodized aluminum unibody BulletTrain Express Keyboard Platform will blow your mind with how ergonomically comfortable it is. As you can see, it literally looks like it's hovering in the air above whatever surface it sits upon!!!”
All of those exclamation points aside, BulletTrain certainly has the right idea with the Express, which almost looks like something Apple themselves would have produced. The price is right as well at $99 plus flat-rate U.S. shipping of $10 (international ordering isn’t available yet, but is promised soon).
Among the many sales pitches featured on the BulletTrain website, the company touts that the Express is ready-made for next year’s Mac OS X Lion 10.7 with its iPad-style gesturing. “Since the BulletTrain Express Platform strategically places the Magic Trackpad in the front-center section of the anodized aluminum platform it benefits the user by giving them a truly symmetrical 1-to-1 experience,” the website reads.
You can check out the exhaustive list of uses for BulletTrain Express on the company’s website, and when you’re ready just add one to your cart -- but better hurry, orders are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

When reading about this gadget for the first time I've headed to Bullettrain's website to place the order and when I realized I cannot place it I wrote an email to "them". To my big surprise I have received a phone call from Jake, designer of Express and man behind this company. He explained me in details how the Express works and even offered to find the way how to get the Express delivered to Germany where I reside. What a brilliant customer care!!!!
