Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-06-30 It's quiet, but too hard to type on I am a fast and noisy typist (I type with 4 fingers and a thumb at high speed, and that makes a normal keyboard loud). This keyboard is completely quiet, but it is just too hard to type well, especially the space key. I find that it drops about every 20th keystroke, even though it is clearly pressed. The space key is not a big wide key as normal and it is unreliable. The problem is not the angle of press (as some have said), but the way the material has to compress to make contact. In theory you can learn to type well, but I will not use as a regular keyboard as it is just too hard. It is still useful for certain situations, so I am keeping it.
Note that I really want to like it, but they could have done this a lot better. I had a similar style keyboard years ago which had folds in the material, which acted as guides so that the keys always dropped in straight and cleanly. It is a shame no one makes these any more (that was for industrial use). Rating:  Date: 2008-06-25 Indestructable Keyboard In my job as an IT technician I have several computers that operate as a Point of Sale terminal. They usually only have a touch screen and no keyboard or mouse. When I need to access the software I must have a keyboard and there is not one around where I need it. This keyboard has worked out great. I can roll it up and stick it in my travel bag and it is always ready to go. The USB connector is quick and connects to any USB port. I have not had any problems with the terminals not recognizing it or not being able to use it immediately. The keys are a little softer than I would like but for the short time I'm using it for access I have learned to adapt my typing to match the keyboard. It was a good price and a great product. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a portable keyboard that is easy to pack. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-21 flexible keyboard a waste It never worked, after I got it I hooked it up and it worked for about five minuted and then it just stopped and then it wouldn't even let my mouse work.

Rating:  Date: 2008-06-08 Fell apart after just a few months I bought this for my nephew last Christmas after he saw a similar keyboard in the new "Die Hard" movie and just had to have one. Less than six months later and the thing has literally come apart - he went to unplug it from his computer and the USB connector pulled apart, leaving half stuck in the computer and half still connected to the keyboard cable. I deal with USB devices all the time and have never seen anything like this; this is just poor craftsmanship, plain and simple. If you buy this, do yourself a favor and get the replacement plan as well. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-02 flexible keyboard review This is an excellent product, 5 stars.
