The Flexible Silicone Rubber Keyboard

A silicone rubber PC keyboard at just $5.24? Sounds incredibly cheap, but let’s see what it is about!
Here is the Flexible Silicone Rubber PC Keyboard from Chinavasion online store, made of quality silicon rubber that can be carried anywhere and packed even in a small purse.
It features plug and play capability and is compatible with Microsoft operating systems up to Windows XP. Oops! This is one black point.
At least it uses USB and PS/2 connectivity and doesn’t require installation.
The keyboard has 109 keys/buttons, is a QWERTY standard and works between -5 and +50 degrees Celsius.
It is described as being virtually indestructible and water resistant, dust proof, washable, with the following dimensions: 136 x 490 x 3 mm.

Seriously? I've had one of these for at least 2-3 years now...
You know what the problem is? The site doesn't specify at how many key strokes can it resist.
All these silicon keyboards support a limited number of keystrokes.
Lags like a mofo
I shit on it!
This thing isnt very good. The idea is cool but save your $$.
I own one. It comes with instructions that says "do not fold or roll to store". I tried it and it broke. Fortunately, usb.gizmodo sent me another one.
You had one but not from the same producer.This one is flexible.
I've had one for several years, too. It's really good, too, and well worth the money. {Although mine's getting shabby because I accidentally...kind of tore off a key...luckily it's one of the blank ones next to the space bars. And it's covered with duct tape.}
The ones with the lower keys are the ones that suck. A lot. {By lower keys, I mean like the ones in the picture.}
is it dishwasher safe
My girlfriend took one with her to Iraq to use with her laptop on base. The laptop is barely functional and missing keys. The usb keyboard still works and is in good condition. The only problem we have with it is that the letters rub off after time.
tried it before, not very conventional
We've had those at MicroCenter forever.

Indestructible?? I'm quite sure if you dropped a cleaver through the middle of it you'd have 2 keyboards that don't work all of a sudden...
Why would anyone do that?
I do not believe this
What don’t you believe, fornetti?
Hi,
Who is producing these things? I am looking to buy them in greater quantities.
The Flexible Silicone Rubber PC Keyboard costs 4.04 EUR, but the price lowers up to 3.56 EUR based on wholesale levels. The link leads you to the largest China wholeseller. Hope this helps, Rik.
