Those horrifyingly ugly Crocs that have taken the nation by storm have shown us that being hip and comfy isn't mutually exclusive.

But instead of neon-hued styrofoam clogs, Key Ovation, maker of the Goldtouch line of ergonomic office products, on Wednesday introduced its first Mac-compatible keyboard. This way you can attempt to ward off repetitive stress injury and keep your 24-inch iMac. Nice.

Among other features, the newest Goldtouch is white (shock, I know) and has the Apple/command key. It's also split down the middle for more appropriate wrist positioning and both sections can be adjusted horizontally and vertically.

Still, is the price in your comfort zone? This keyboard is going for $140.
