Roll up keyboard

I bought a roll up keyboard like this one (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/computing/5a7f.shtml) for a guy at my program office. I'm typing on it right now. It kind of sucks. Has anyone ever seen or used one before? I think the worst part is the shift key. You have to hit the keys in the middle to make it work the bes, and it's kind of hard on the bigger keys.

I've never seen a roll-up keyboard like that. However, I have seen the fold up keyboards that people use with palm pilots and those seem to work fine.

We sell them where I work... Don't get to carried away with its claim that it's "indestructable". Half of the keys on our demo no longer function.

I just found out recently that they are either now or soon to be selling projection keyboards for Palm Pilots and such. You aim it at a flat surface, and it projects a keyboard on the desk, using light sensors to tell what keys you hit.

Anyone seen one yet or used one?

Yep yep.. technology is an interesting thing. there are even keyboards for TI calculators which I think is interesting. sometimes it's just crazy how you can do so much with a tiny lil device

I'm waiting for the cost of tablet PCs to down, and then i'm definatetly getting one of those

shouldn't this research and money be used to stop domestic violence or cure aids or something?
