Maybe this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Keyboard ? I think they tried but this product didn't gain enough traction as they expected (due to higher price, lower specs, ...)

Otherwise i must agree with the article. After successfully introducing netbook concept the EeePC 700 serie, all Asus has done was just milking the product line with god know how many variations. I mean they have dozens of models, all has the same configuration: Intel Atom, 1-2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, with little difference in screen sizes, keyboards layout.

To be honest it's not like Asus was doing so great before the netbook. I am happy for them 'cause it shows that there is a reward out there for PC makers that try to innovate (ASUS went up in market share a lot), but I think that expecting a series of home-runs was a bit optimistic given the company hasn't changed (or has it?).

Here is to Asus and the hope that they didn't give up after the Eee Keyboard: some you win, and some you lose, Asus! Keep trying!!! :)
