Inflatable mousepad
Just yank the cord...

Waiting for the database to return the report you requested? Another hour left on that movie you're downloading? Simply move your mouse off of your mousepad and yank the cord protruding from the side - instantly the mousepad inflates to a nice, comfortable pillow.

Could also be used as an emergency flotation device, or an oxygen supply via an attachable mouthpiece.

inflatable keyboard pillow http://www.halfbake...20keyboard_20pillow

Annotation:







       Many self inflation devices use a single gas from a chemical reaction. Would it be safe/practical to make this gas oxygen? Also, how would you get the mousepad back to a normal state? How would it be recharged? How would this be cheaper or less hassle than a pillow?

       Inflated/deflated by usb-powered air pump?   

       Several of these spread around the desk, combined with some face/gesture recognition software should result in an automatic airbag-pillow safety system suitable for sleepy, nodding-off yet internet-addicted heads.

       [xyg] did this as a keyboard feature, see link.

       If this [xyg] (or anyone else) would like me to remove this, I would without hesitation.
