Flexible Keyboards

There are as many keyboard designs as there are manufacturers.  The only similarity is the QWERTY layout.  There are, of course, high end keyboards which are configurable, allowing the user to shif to a Dvorak layout, or any other layout which the user fancies.  So far other keyboard layouts have not have as much acceptance as the QWERTY.

Keyboard manufacturers still continue researching with materials and with other ergonomic setups to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury.  Some keyboard designs have adjustable pieces, or angled keys.  Typically, these keyboards are more expensive than the regular keyboards.

One keyboard design which has caught on and is sold at almost the same price as regular keyboards make use of a rubber casing.  This makes the keyboard flexible, and the user can type on practically any surface, even if it’s not flat.  Lightweight and durable, rubber keyboards are also water proof.  (Regular keyboards are spill-proof, which means that spilled coffee will not get inside the casing.  Rubber keyboards on the other hand are practically water-proof because the internals are sealed inside the rubber casing.

The design house which developed flexible keyboards also developed mouse pads for use on thighs which work well with wireless mouse.  The good thing about the design house is that they really use their own designs.  The designers test their products first-hand.

For laptop users, flexible keyboards can be rolled up and stowed into the laptop bag after use.  It’s also very comfortable to use, the keys are relatively softer than the regular plastic keyboards.
