    Apparently so

    Anyone ever used one of these? Looks like an interesting idea, and for $35 CDN isn't too bad of a deal. I'd like to read some reviews of it (time to google).

    Yup, this is a bit old. This would be useful for LAN parties, though I'm not sure how comfortable/easy it would be to game on.

    As a KB is so big and heavy in comparison to a case and monitor for example?
    That thing looks like it would be a nightmare to use

    It would be much easier to roll up your keyboard and carry it our stuff it in your bag, rather than having to carry it.

    It took a few days to get used to, but i like it. You have to push the button all the way down. Not like normal keyboard that register half way. The only downside with mine is thats its had so much use the arrow keys, W,A,S,D, all needed a marker to put the letter back on. Lol. i will post a piccy

    personally, if i were going to be typing for any extended period of time, i would just bring along my regular ergo keyboard, because if i use a straight keyboard, my wrists kill. but, if it didnt hurt my wrists, i would buy one of these in a second.

    you can actually try those at crapshack err radio shack in the usa. Its a cool concept but the keys feel like crap imho. Even after some time I couldnt see myself getting used to one of those things. Especially for gaming.

    Personally id rather just grab a small keyboard like one of these.
