GrandTec Virtually Indestructible Keyboard

Pocketable keyboard

My fingers are too broad and my precision too challenged to use the little keyboard on my Sony VAIO laptop effectively. Stuff I write in a coffee shop or when on the road ends up with tons of mistakes to straighten out when I transfer it to our desktop G-4. I recently bought this hokey looking rubber keyboard and it works amazingly well. You can roll it up, bend it, spill water on it, plug and unplug into a laptop at any time and it works great. My one objection is that it has no mouse, so you have to go back to the laptop for mouse movement and clicks.

My Virtually Indestructible Keyboard worked fine for about 13 months
before it simply stopped working. They are guaranteed one year - keep your receipt.

"That is exactly why it has "virtually" in the name. Nothing in this world is 100% indestructible. IF the membrane is folded or creased, it can break the circuits on the membrane. "

I have not (yet) heard a failure rate.
