...is of limited application: the keyboard really needs a flat surface to be used effectively, as placed on the lap it will just drape uselessly, so unless you are moving between desks there's very little use in taking it with you. The former, however, is tremendously useful, especially for laptop users like me who risk frying their entire machine if they knock a glass over in the wrong direction. (There is something deeply satisfying, I discovered ...
...by the downsides of the keyboard design. Because the keys are flexible, it is very easy to press them down without actually activating the sensor beneath, and so typing with this board produces frequent missed letters. The keys themselves, meanwhile, are smaller than on a standard board, leaving a large gap between keys that is very easy to hit instead of the key itself. Perhaps worse still in the long run, the keyboard is very flat and, because ...

I first saw this keyboard on the internet after my laptop keyboard stopped working and I couldn't get a replacement for at least a month.

I bought this keyboard because I thought it would be ideal to carry around to connect to terminals and machines without a decent keyboard, like servers and laptops. I also used it for my Xbox 360 to speed up typing things in. It served me very well for quite a while. Although it takes up more room than you might imagine once rolled up, infact a normal mini keyboard might fit in things like bags better because it's flat. I found it very useful that ...
...on your lap etc... this keyboard is extremely difficult to use. It's not easy to break however, at least by snapping etc.. that's the benefit of it being flexible of course. Although after a few months (about 6) half of the keyboard just stopped working. I'm not sure why this happened, I know it doesn't like heavy objects on it but I don't remember it being stood on or underneath any dictionaries at all. The novelty factor won me over to buy this ...
