 All flexible keyboards are not created equalNov 13, 2007
By Shane Maloney
"Yeggster"
This flexible keyboard is the third one I have purchased. The other two I bought localy and had to return.
All Flexible Keyboards are NOT created equal! There's at least three different basic types I've seen ... the cheaper ones just do not measure up ... and even two very similar looking keyboards can operate differently. Price is a factor as well ... but not the sole measure ... I paid more localy for a popular name brand flexible keyboard that just did not work NEAR as well as this one.
I'm typing this review on the keyboard now ... It is discovered and installs with plug-and-play seamlessly and you can plug it in even if your other keyboard is plugged in as well (but I assume that's true of all USB keyboards.)
It works great I have not experinanced any problems and I find the keys operate perfectly even if struck off centre.
The keyboard is EXACTLY the same size as a standard keyboard, with a full number keypad wich I use all the time but has a little more space between letters, (the keys themselves are slightly smaller) this has not casued any trouble for me, but it's woth noting. I would think the extra space between the keys is needed to make it possible to roll it up for storage.
The keyboard has 5 extra keys my regular keyboard does not have 'WAKEUP' 'SPLEEP' and 'POWER' that operate the computers power fuctions directly if you have them enabled ... and two keys that don't do anything, one on each side of the space bar, they could have been wired up as space bar keys I guess ... but perhaps they are for futre development? At any rate they don't seem to get in the way and the space bar keys are both wide enough it's no problem besides and occasional missed space while gettig used to it.
On that note it does NOT take long to get used to this keyboard it's pretty much the same as a regular desk top keyboard to me.
On the negative side? The smaller keys and extra two blank keys could casue very fast touch typists to make more errors? But it's SOOOO much better than the tiny keyboard on todays small notebook comuters it's worth getting used to.
I don't like the brightness of the "Num lock" LED light ... it's very bright and I find it distracting so I put some tape over it ... aperently there is a softwear hack in Windows XP to disable the idicator light so I may look into that.
The COLOUR is white/translucent ... I do not remember a colour option and just assued it was going to be grey/brown??? but it's no big deal for me. If it is to you ask about the colour.
That's it over all I am VERY pleased with the keyboard! If you are looking at different flexibles this one is the one for you regardless of the price ... they are NOT all created equal!

Not like real thing, but not badNov 02, 2007
By Atherton Reader
(written whle using the product) When depressed, the keys can dropat 30degree angles so tht it does not recognize the strike. Yo really have to strike the key stright downward with 2x more force thn a regular keyboard. if you type with two fingers, its not too bad. but my smaller fingers (esp pinky) have a hard time with the force requirement and straight angle. I'vebeen using this keyboard exclusively for 1 week now and I stillcannt get it to work 100%. i use it for the super minilaptop while traveling, so the question fo me is does it feelbetter than a cramped keyboard ad the hassle of carrying this thing around?? Jury is still out...

 Flexible, spil resistant, slightly stiff to typeSep 30, 2007
By Adrian Lopez
I bought this keyboard because of it's low profile. It is great, very flexible, completely spill proof. But it's a little stiff when typing. You have to push the keys a full stroke. I will still recomend it, just be aware that is not as soft as typing in a laptop's keyboard

Better than expectedSep 11, 2007
By C. Davison
I have a laptop, and i like to use an external keyboard when i'm at home. When I'm on the road i found that it was often difficult to pack most standard keyboards and so i got this flexible keyboard. It worked amazingly well, I expected it to be hard to type with the keyboard, but was pleasantly suprised with the functionality I'm not saying it is a perfect keyboard, it is a little more difficult to type with, but overall it is much better than the cramped laptop keyboard. The fact that the keyboard can roll up to a tube about 5in long by 4in wide is a big plus.

If you own a netbook you must own this productFeb 05, 2009
By Matthew Smith
"mighty matt"
This is a terrific product, as long as you come with the right expectations. This is not going to be as good as your plastic keyboard that's sitting on your desk. It is, however, a terrific companion to a netbook.
I love it because I through it in my bag, and don't have to think about it, then when i need it, i just through it on a flat table, and i have a comfortable keyboard.
There is definately a learning curve to using this product. It feels as comfortable as a regular plastic keyboard so i have the tendency to just want to pound away on it... This is not easy to do... If you really start pounding on the keyboard, you are likely to not press hard enough on a key to make it register the lick. If you type slow and steady, It is accurate, and comfortable, but again, you must spend about 20 minutes of typing before you learn how to use it...
Overall:
-This will not replace your everyday keyboard.
-If you have a full size keyboard on your laptop right not, i would not recommend this product (as your built in keyboard is probably better than this keyboard0
-if you use a netbook, or a really small laptop, this is a must have! You can just through it in your bag, and pull it out when you need a full size keyboard...It is comfortable, so you can use it for extended period of times, and not get hand cramp..
-Definitely stick with this product for 20 minutes or so and you will really know how to use it.
-This KEYBOARD WILL FRUSTRATE YOU TO NO END UNTIL YOU LEARN HOW TO PRESS THE KEYS!!!
-this keyboard feels really durable and i do not forsee any problems with breaking and such...
If this helps, typing this review on the keyboard took me about 15 minutes...and i am a pretty quick typist... so it definitely slows you down a bit, but the main value of this product is in the comfort of having a full size keyboard and not about speed...
