Tim,
Is this the one that's transparent?
We went through this thread while ago and I bought one of these
sealed flexible keyboards for my CNC.
When it came I was very disappointed with it. It was very flimsy, the
material used would not be able to withstand even one hot chip and
typing on it was horrible.
The keys have no positive feel to them and you get the impression
that all you are doing is rocking them and not pressing them.
A bit like having a pillow fight on a kids bouncy castle.
I didn't even take mine into the workshop, it wouldn't have lasted 2
minutes.
I tried it on my laptop as a good way to get a bigger keyboard that
folded away but the feel was not right. Because of this rocking
action I kept missing keys.
In all the one I bought was a total waste of money.
In fact if anybody wants to pay packing and carriage when I get back
from holiday in the new year they can have the bloody thing.
