The DIY Calculator is the ultimate custom desk tool

What rule book is it that says we should all suffer under the weight of grey plastic and fake chrome gadgetry? If I want a lime green and purple toaster I should be able to have one, right? Right? Which is clearly the thinking behind the new product we see here.

The DIY Calculator literally starts as a blank sheet, and you get all the fun and ego trip of designing your own faceplate to your very particular liking. It’s a shame that you still have to draw the right numbers in the correct locations (it would be fun to switch numbers around in a chaotic mess wouldn’t it?) but apart from that you can let your imagination go wild. Minus points to anyone who goes for a Hello Kitty meme. Price unknown as yet.
