Revolutionary Keyboard

nogojoe:
I have just come across one of these keyboards in an internet cafe here in New Zealand and thought it was just great and worthy of a global mention.

I have no connection to the firm that produces and sells this product. Never knew it existed before yesterday
The possibilities of this product being a standard amongst schoolchildren and preschoolers looks immense.  Also for the outside environments.
It speaks for itself on the webpage .

Maybe Mouser could approach for discount giveaway promotion

Shades:
They can be bought here for a long time already....although the concept sounds excellent, I absolutely hate the way it "feels" when you're typing on them.

For me that is the primary reason for liking a keyboard or not.

I can see what you mean.
true the concept is good maybe they could have produced as an option a model with a little more depth(density underneath)to compensate the likes of those already used to a standard keyboard that normally has a raised profile .

If you saw the film Live Free or Die Hard you might have noticed the bad-guy hackers using flex keyboards in several scenes. Unfortunately, that doesn't really make a lot of sense. (Come to think of it, all of the portrayed 'hacking' scenes were so technically clueless that most of what went down in the film didn't make much sense either, but let's confine the discussion to keyboards for now. ;D)

Here's the problem with  flex keyboards. You can't exactly touch type rapidly on one of these rubber 'bathmats'. (At least not any that I've ever used.) And the right software combined with raw typing speed is essential to pull off several well known exploits.

Or at least so I've read. ;)
