anybody ever tried it or bought it? I find the concept rather cool. Looks like it was produced already two years ago; anyways...feel free to share your experience if you got one. Thanks :)

OK so, nobody seems to have tried it...at least at the time of the old thread.

Well, I tried it out for a short while in a store, and my impression was not positive.
I really missed the tactile feedback that regular keyboards offer, and this was the first thing I noticed. I am a “touch” typist, and found that it was harder to “place” keys (or perhaps the i/p reading was inaccurate).
I also think that it is way overpriced (around $150 IIRC) and offers novelty rather than features. If you need a portable keyboard, this one does not seem to offer any benefit over a rubber keyboard that can be rolled up.

I used it for testing 1-2 years ago.
I thougth it was okay, if you use it alot im sure you will find it easyer.
