Very cool keyboard at compusa

According to the reviews, the only con about it is that some people can have an allergic reaction to the silicon material that they used to make it.

A friend of mine picked one up for and should have it to me by next weekend. I'll get back to everyone on how it works when I have it.

 

I bought one of those last year, right around the beginning of December. I had it returned within a week. I really enjoyed the ability to roll it up and cram it into places no other keyboard could go, but I had a bunch of greivances:

(1) The "Return" or "Enter" key is broken into two seperate keys, as is the "Shift" key. It makes it so the keyboard rolls up easier, but it's also easy to hit the gap in between the two, too.

(2) The keys have to be pressed dead-on to make letters and such appear - you cannot hit them at an angle. The key will depress but not actually type anything.

(3) The keyboard has to be on a 100% dead-flat surface or random keys are pressed internally. It makes the keyboard a lot less rugged than it initially appears.

So yeah, I didn't much care for it. But good luck with yours!

 

Our local library has similar keyboards for the computers in childern section. It say something like "Indestructable Keyboard" on the keyboard itself. It is not as bad as Ala mentioned, but it was not that comfortable to type on.

 

Ugh, I think these things are garbage, but if you can get along with it, the concept is nice.

 

i had one of these for a long time, real nice for typing quietly (for people like me who type a tlike 60 wpm, it makes aHUGE difference)

but all the cons that have been listed are in fact true, and its not a keyboard i'd want as a primary....

 

I was at CompUSA just last night and this keyboard caught my eye, but it only held my attention for a few seconds and even less key-presses.

To me, it feels just like those awkward plasticy covers you see on keyboards at mechanic shops and elsewhere.

A good idea for a portable keyboard I guess, but the rubbery feel would drive me crazy ~

 

Well i finally got mine and I have to say that it was well worth the 20 the
bucks. Not something that I'd type a paper on but good for everything else. I use it mainly for gaming and internet browsing.

The only thing that really bothers me about the keyboard is the position of the backspace and right shift keys. for some reason the designer thought it would be a good idea to have you reach over the arrow keys to get to shift.
