SINGAPORE - November 8, 2005 - Creative Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: CREAF), the worldwide leader in digital entertainment products for PC users, today announced the Creative Prodikeys® PC-MIDI dual-function keyboard for home users. Creative Prodikeys PC-MIDI is based on the patented, "Best of Consumer Electronics Show" award-winning two-in-one computer and music keyboard design, which offers home users additional, convenient music functionality on the PC.

Creative Prodikeys PC-MIDI features popular multimedia keyboard functions such as customizable HotKeys, media playback control, and enhanced F-keys functions, which enable easy access to frequently used applications and tasks on the PC. The HotKeys are customizable with the included HotKeys Manager software. The signature integrated music keys are neatly embedded and protected under the keyboard palm rest which supports the wrists for typing comfortably. The Snap-On color faceplate feature also allows users options to customize the keyboard color.

Creative Prodikeys PC-MIDI comes with a suite of easy-to-use music software designed to let home users explore music making on the computer. Users can play with different instrument sounds, learn to play a song, and easily create and record music in MP3, WAV or WMA formats.

"Creative Prodikeys PC-MIDI is more than just a keyboard. It is an integrated solution that expands the functions of the PC, and takes digital music entertainment beyond the passive listening experience. Users can now learn to play a song they heard, and even create their own music for using as mobile phone ring tone, or background music for videos and photo slide shows," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative.
