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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
