Flexible keyboard

I received my order from paramountzone this morning https://www.paramountzone.com/flex.htm
I just wondered if anyone knows who else sells flexible keyboards. I thought I'd be getting a 'MICROSOFT CIO SUMMIT' flexi keyboard (logo on the pic of the keyboard I ordered), but there's no logo on this one. I did question customer services over this and they told me that that was their original batch :rolleyes: - apart from that, it looks the same but the manual it comes with says 'Roll keyboard manual' - the manual has lots of spelling errors, so I assume this product isn't made in the US, NZ, OS or UK. lol. There's also a little leaflet with it - the picture on that has yet another logo with a web address, but it's not legible as it's a poor quality grey scale pic watermark with a title written over it. I will scan it and zoom in on it. lol. Any other suggestions would be good as I like having brand products - a pink one would be good :rotfl:;)

I did the usual Yahoo! (Google based) search before I bought it. I only came across rip offs and pda foldables.0 -
https://www.eezeetv.com had them on their shopping channel.I don't know if they were branded or not as I can't see them on their website.They did have them in various colours though.Could try giving them a ring?0

Only problem with flexible ones if you ever get them in sunlight the
rubber goes brittle and cracks, I previously owned 2, more of a gimmick.0 -

- Didn't ask for an opinion on them. Ok Mr Skint?
I gave an informed opinion so that other people can make there mind up
as you have bought/buying one of these I thought you would appreciate
some input so you can gain knowledge of how to store them as In sunlight
they do crack/craze.
And in my opinion and mine alone they are a bit of a gimmick as
I have had two of these and I found them unnecessary as when using
a laptop for work and travelling they do have a tendancy to slide about
a bit either place on the lap or on a moving trains table.
That is why I bought 4 rubberised pads and stuck them on the
bottom of my laptop to stop it slipping on long journeys.
And yes I am very well thankyou.0 -

I do not need to make a new thread I saw the subject heading of the first
post and replied to (Flexible Keyboard) if you do not wish for anyone to put
in a heplful comment (sunlight damage) based on facts (Iv'e owned 2) I
would feel very sorry for the person who wouldn't look at this thread/post
and think Oh that was helpful I must keep the keyboard out of the sun.

Ok, lol. A bit pre menstrual this morning, and I just thought you were saying I'd made a bad descision... kinda still feeling a bit demoralised from recent posts.0
