Yeah, I also have approximately the same type of rubber/silicone keyboard for my waterjet machine. The main strength of this product is being water- and dust- and other dirt-proof. Main disadvantage, just like Colin stated, is that it is not very convenient for typing, like writing e-mails. But it is great for production machine, where keyboard is used to control machine or for code adjustment or other minor typing. I bought it several weeks ago, that shop had only white keyboards in stock and now it is not white anymore :) So anyone, concerned about the visual looks of their machine - if You buy something like this, take black one. /vie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
