I just bought a new mini flexible keyboard. This keyboard is so flexible, that you can roll it up and bring it everywhere. My keyboard is washable and hygienic. But the only thing I noticed is I type slower now than before. I don't know if it's because I'm not yet used to it. It's soft coz it's a silicone-based flexible computer keyboard, features a unique combination of durability and soft, comfortable feel. So do you think I need to go back to my old hard keys keyboard? How about you any comments or experience using flexible keyboard?

That must be great having one of them.Maybe the reason that you typed slow is that you're not used with it.Time will come that you will be typing on your normal speed just like typing on the ordinary keyboard.

i saw it in computer stores, but i don't like it coz it seems it will not function well as the typical keyboards. and i think i can't type faster with that... but that's only my opinion, i haven't tried using flexi keyboard.

Hey thanks a lot for that honest opinion. As of now I'm not yet comfortable using this flexible keyboard. Because I'm used to my old hard keys keyboard. This flexi keyboard is rubber type so it's really soft and flexible. So I can't type as fast as I could. But in fairness to this product well it's good for your fingers.

I have seen the flexible keyboard in the computer stores but I didn't buy one of those things. I am happy with my multimedia keyboard. It has shortcut keys on the side.
Well I think you type slower because you are not used to your new keyboard. Give yourself a week or two then maybe you'll notice that you can type just like before. Well, don't change your keyboard. Just like you've said the flexible keyboard has many pros so why change it.

I have seen it before. It really is a cool gadget to have. But for me, I would rather stay with my old and trusty keyboard. Why? It's because I like the tiptop sound everytime I typed on it which I don't think you would have using that flexible keyboard. Isn't it?

I just used it once coz I'm not really that comfortable with the softness. Now I'm using my old keyboard. Anyways it's still working just fine. I just decided to buy that flexi keyboard expecting I can type faster using those but unfortunately I was wrong. But maybe you are right I just need time to get used to it.

ive never even heard of a flexible keyboard! that is awesome though, especially since i often spill things. lol
where did you get this, if i may ask? and was it expensive?
anytime i get a new keyboard, it takes me a couple of days to "adjust" there are slight differences in spacing that can really slow you down.

yeah you're right it's good for those who always spills things while typing. I's also washable so it's really nice but it's just so soft so I'm not yet used to type fast using my new keyboard. It's not that expensive though the price is a bit higher than the ordinary keyboard. I bought mine in a computer store here in our country. I really love to try those new gadgets so I always visit gadgets and computer stores once in a while. Why don't you try checking out the one of the biggest computer store or stores having comp.acessories in your place. For sure they have one.
