Default THinking of getting a new keyboard, waterproof and flexible...

ANyone have one of these flexible waterproof keyboards yet? If so how do you like it? I am considering one for my birthday present to myself. But my other half thinks it's not a very good keyboard.

What do you think?

My daughter thought they looked neat, so we did some searching online and looked at user reviews. Most of the reviews had mention of key touch problems had to hit them firmly, I think was the main concern.
For small kids it might be good, but if you are doing a lot of typing/keyboarding I think it would be fatiguing.

We tried to find some in local stores to do a touch test..but no luck.

I think the most reviews we found were on Amazon.

Thanks Jo, that's what I've heard on the big writer's board I go to where I posted a similar thread to this one yesterday. It's not something I think I want to get without a touch test.

At least for me, now for Jackie that's another story.

i have one. and yes with the silicone based sheathing the keys do need a harder topuch than our usual keyboards. however thats its main downfall.

its nice because i can roll it up take it to a clients and roll it out with my laptop. ilike the back light for those late nights when im working at the kitchen table rather than my desktop pc in my office.

pros.


waterproof, flexible, nightlight, easy to read keys.

cons,

harder touch on keys.
