ROCKSOUL Flexible Keyboard Slim Water & Dust Proof (KB-101F106B), Black

I LOVE this keyboard. Oh, Rocksoul keyboard, why do I love you so? Here's why:1) It is a FULL keyboard, including the 10-key number pad. Yay! AND, it is full-sized, not miniturized--at least not until you decide you want it tiny. See #2.2) This is a contortionist keyboard. Fold it, roll it, make it tiny. I love it so much for travel, whether around the globe or to my local coffee shop. It packs like a dream. Easily.3) It is USB wired. If you want wireless... well, so sorry. I find that wired gives a more dependable performance with no drops.4) It has a really nice feel. I'm a touch typist and kind of like to slam the keys. This doesn't give the loud clack-clack satisfaction. But for everything else it does, I'm willing to sacrifice a little auditory & kinesthetic pleasure while still getting good touch.If I have any complaints about this at all, it's that sometimes the area where it's wired doesn't lie entirely flat. A small nit, but sometimes a little annoying. But then... so am I. =) (If this review has been helpful, I'd really appreciate if you would click the "Helpful" button. Thanks so much for reading!

We were looking for a cheap alternative to the ridiculously priced dust-proof industrial keyboards that are out there, and something that was easier to type on. We gave this Rocksoul USB Flexible keyboard a try. Our environment is dirty and dusty at times, and normal keyboards will choke up with all the dust and dirt by the machines. We put this at one of our PLCs to replace a failed keyboard, and it has been working flawlessly since 2017. The keys do take some getting used to as they are silent and the key press is an odd sensation. What is best about the unit is we can blow off the dust and wipe it down with anti-bacterial wipes and it stays nice and clean, without the high price of the fancy industrial models. Having last 3 years is amazing in our environment, and the price is so cheap we can easily buy another if it does fail anytime soon. We have not experienced any missing key-presses or inaccurate key-presses with the unit we have in place, unlike what some others are reporting. It is also worthwhile to note, that we never roll the unit up or move it at all, it is laying flat on a tray on the outside of the PLC cabinet and is affixed to stay in place - so that might have something to do with it. I plan on replacing all our keyboards on all our machines with these as the older more expensive keyboards age and fail.

This keyboard is pretty good but not for everyone. I will start by describing what is good about it.As advertised, it works, it is cheap, it is very light weight, and quite comfortable to use. Which is why it got 5 stars for those categories. It also as advertised is very simple to clean, and if you purchase two of them at once then you can just swap them for cleaning (not that cleaning takes long.) Finally, as advertised it can be taken with you anywhere very easily as it is very flexible and can be rolled up or folded over on itself to save space.But the reason I only gave it a 4 star for the overall rating is the one flaw of this keyboard which has multiple aspects it exposes issues with. Because this keyboard is flexible, the signals for key strokes are at risk,First aspect a buyer should be aware is that you absolutely must have a solid surface to use it on. Do not just try to set it on a bedsheet next to you in bed and expect good results as half the keystrokes just will not register or worse will register your stroke as a different key. Nor can you just lay it over your lap / legs. Find a solid table or similar surface before attempting to use it.Second, even on the best of surfaces you will occasionally experience ghosts in this machine. By this I mean that sometimes while you are typing away that there will be a keystroke it loses, ad even worse it may sometimes add a key that yu never actually hit. To illustrate what I mean by this, I decided to type this entire paragraph ithout self correcting any mistakes in typing done by the keyboard. Of course, if I mishit a key I will redo it, but I w+]n't remove actual weirdness. Thus a few spelling mistkes caused by lost letters (including in this sentence!), ad the occasional defects such as when I tried to type the word "won't" earlier and it added gibberish "+]" instead of the letter "o" I actually hit. In total I believe that I tyed around 800-900 strokes in this paragrph and only experienced 8 lost keystrokes which is a 1% loss ratio, which isn't bad.I only took off one star for the ghosting issue because it honestly is not really a big deal to me. I have learned to spot when it happens and all but automatically self correct out the lost strokes or the gibberish. But this probably is not the keyboard for you if you need perfect accuracy in your keyboard due to using it in conjunction with professions that can't afford mistakes such as writing or mathematics intensive fields.

I bought about 35 of these for use in a metal shop. They work... OK. A few of them have been a bit troublesome, with the most common annoyance being extraneous key presses being registered. For example, some of them seem to think the space bar is being pressed with almost every other key, so you have to be very ginger with it to avoid typing something like "M ED I OCR E" rather than "MEDIOCRE" - and that's what these are. Although they are flexible enough that you can *almost* type normally with them, nobody in the shop likes the "spongy" feel of them. They will certainly stand up to dirt and water far better than any standard keyboard, and for the occasional typing that our shop folks do, these are passable. But, if you need to do a lot of typing, you will probably be frustrated with these.I won't be buying any more of these. Instead, I will get the Grandtec "virtually indestructible" keyboards. I have a handful of these in the same shop. They are considerably more expensive than the Rocksoul units, and on the GrandTecs you have to hit the rubber button keys with similar force to an old fashioned mechanical typewriter - so they are also not made for someone who needs to do a lot of typing, but they work much better than the Rocksouls and provide what ought to be an equal amount of resilience to dirt and moisture.

Great product, I got it to use in our warehouse as a regular keyboard would always get the keys stuck with the dust. This thing is great, easy to clean and no matter how dirty or what you spill on it then keys work great. Will buy again if it wears out

La sensibilidad está excelente, comúnmente este tipo de teclados tiene el problema de doble respuesta, es decir, tecleas una tecla y parece como si se hubiera tecleado dos veces seguidas. Pero ésta es la excepción, lo uso bastante ya que soy programador, busco un teclado cómodo y éste ha cumplido con mis expectativas.Anteriormente tuve uno de otra marca que tenía su tarjeta a la derecha y era un tanto incómodo ya que el mouse tenía que colocarlo una distancia más a la derecha lo suficiente para sentirme incómodo. Con éste al tener su tarjeta pequeña en la parte superior, donde también tiene indicadores de block mayus y demás, lo hace bastante cómodo.Lo compré porque requería un teclado silencioso para no dar molestias en la noche a los demás huespedes de la casa y ha funcionado de maravilla. Efectivamente es lavable y se siente un material duradero y de alta calidad. En caso de que avisasen que van a dejar de producirlos compraría más de uno para tener de respaldo.Si buscas un teclado silencioso y ser lo más sigiloso en tu área de trabajo o casa, recomiendo ampliamente este producto además de un mouse con silent click, definitivamente el kit que debes tener para no incomodar a las personas cercanas.

I use the Rocksoul flexible keyboard in an industrial environment that is extremely dusty where normal keyboard usually don't last a day. Can can take a lot of abuse; yet eventually the internal circuitry gets damaged by impacts or the external skin tears. At that price I just throw them away and replace them. I usually purchase them like 20 at a time. The USB cable is a bit flimsy but it's not an issue unless you give it a good tug. The type A connector is rather cheap; it is best to not plug/unplug this keyboard all the time. The outer skin is not perfectly flat but it's acceptable and not as bad as some other flexible keyboards. Some of the keys can sometime be a little unresponsive. Don’t expect to write a book with this, even writing a single sentence can be tedious and you can’t type very fast. As an input for an industrial HMI I think it is well suited.

Es muy flexible, ligero para transportar solo que la barra espaciadora como que se pega y no hace algunas funciones que se puede con los duros

Llego al tiempo acordado, solo doy 4 estrella porque siento que algunas teclas hay que presionar fuerte y más en los números para que tecle ese número... eso es lo único malo y con presionar fuerte a ver cuánto dura.
