Silicone keyboards are just that—computer keyboards made of silicone or silcone-inclusive materials that are said to be waterproof and dustproof, impervious to such damage as that when you spill your drink while at your computer or knocking dusty items around in a warehouse or factory. Many of these keyboards are also flexible, and a good number of those can actually be rolled or folded for storage without damaging the works inside.
For the most part, users and reviewers alike seem to like these keyboards for several reasons including the waterproofing. The Brando USB Flexible is getting high marks for maximum portability, versatility of environmental usage, silent operation, and near-indestructible design and construction, not to mention its $22 price tag. About the only flaws spotted in the keyboard are the initial difficulty in striking keys—reviewers note a user has to press harder at first than on a standard keyboard—and, when rolled out for use, is almost too flat, thus not comfortable for long-term usage.
The Glowtype silicone keyboard is also getting strong reviews. Users and critics like its simple design, one singling out its smooth and not angled design, as well as its water wash-ability, its quiet operation, and its luminescence in the dark or in low light, comparable to many standard keyboards that feature back-lit keys and space bars. This keyboard, too, may require additional finger pressure on the keys at first, according to those users and reviewers.
DealExtreme’s Flexible Mini silicone keyboard is one of the least expensive of the breed at $12.28. It is also more compact in folding/rolling up for storage and gets favorable reviews thus far for quality construction and easy usage. The lone drawback this keyboard has evoked thus far involves its design—some reviewers complained that the wide raised bar that includes an otherwise handy LED caps lock indicator is an occasional nuisance for left-hand comfort or freedom while typing.
