Customer Review: All flexible keyboards are not created equal
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
