[OPLINTECH] Flexible Foldable Full Size Keyboard

[Chad Neeper]

I bought one of these flexible keyboards several years ago for personal 
use on our family computer. Since I have four young kids, I thought it 
would work well to keep them from destroying a regular keyboard with 
crumbs, liquids, etc. It did the job fairly well for the kids. However, 
since my wife uses the computer too, I quickly found that it was much 
wiser to use a regular keyboard instead of the flexible one. :-)

The lesson:  Don't use a flex keyboard on computers that people use to 
type more than a few sentences on. As a reminder to myself, I pulled my 
own keyboard out just to type this message. It does work, but it's not 
pleasant to use, especially being a touch-typer. The keyboard is much, 
much more prone to missing letters that I hit on the keyboard and 
causing me to stop and re-type.

Fine for youth computers, but definitely not something I'd recommend for 
adult patron or staff computers. You're right, though. Cleaning is a breeze!
