RE: Folding or roll-up keyboard suggestion needed

2009-02-11 Thread Nolan Crabb
Well, I think my experience will be somewhat untypical, but I bought a
roll-up keyboard from Adesso that fell apart after two months.  It cost
around $28.  I purchased another one from a grocery store in town, of all
places, that cost $14, and has been functioning perfectly for well over a
year.  I don't know how to advise you on this, except to tell you not to let
others talk you out of owning one.  I absolutely love mine, and once I got
used to typing on it, I went out and bought one for the home computer as
well.  You should know that I'm going to be very much in the minority on
this; most people either don't like them or have never used them.  You just
can't beat the portability and light weight, and the keys are nicely spread
apart so they're easily used after you get used to the action of the
keyboard.  The one I paid $14 for has a series of buttons going across the
top in addition to the function keys that are programmable.  Those, too, can
be a nice feature.

Adesso is a pretty good company with a decent reputation, so I'm sure the
experience I had with that $28 keyboard isn't a normal one.  Still, that
said, I'm not sure I'd buy that particular brand again.

Regards,

Nolan
