It can be folded, rolled up, exposed to dust, or soaked in water and will still continue to function normally. This solution is ideal for use in industrial and marine environments.
When laid out for use the keyboard sits flat and eliminates negative-angle stress to your wrists. Raised keys also provide tactile feedback that enhances performance while typing. The inner components of the keyboard are protected by a sealed outer silicon shell that provides the keyboard with its unique properties of flexibility and resistance. This unit will work with Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME, and 98SE.

I really wanted to like this keyboard. Unfortunately, it is has poor quality. The keys don't work that well if at all. Only purchase if you plan to use it underwater. otherwise, save your money.

Comments about Adesso AKB-220 Compact Waterproof Flexible Keyboard (Black):
I purchased this because I have to use a PC at work and I was frustrated with my keyboard which is not like a Mac's. This keyboard is really rugged and it is flat which is what I wanted but it's a little small which I didn't notice in it's description. It's also kind of sticky so fingers don't slide on it and I found about 1,000,000 typos in even the slightest bit of typing. I'm sure this would be great on a boat or in a place where fluid or something is a problem but as a replacement for a keyboard in an office setting it's not good.

This was a gift for my mother. She had one and it broke after about 2 years. She asked me to get her a new one after the old one broke. It is the only lightweight keyboard for PC that can come close to the Apple laptop keyboard in terms of weight and convenience for travel. It is not as durable as the Apple keyboard but it also costs a lot less.

I used the keyboard daily, and only rolled and transported it one time, two months ago.
Great - transportable.
Aren't so great - Many of the keys were difficult to depress. Frequently had to retype. Stopped functioning after only 9 months use. The right "Shift" key acted like the "Enter" key making it impossible to be productive.

Will use it for travel. Can fold it up and take it anywhere. Keys are not as crisp as a regular keyboard. The feel is much different and hard to get used to. A flat hard surface is required. It was a gift and the concept is cool.
