That's a good link I've used the laser keyboard, roll-up and of course, the spectrum, before I can't see myself using the twiddler nor the glider mouse keyboard but I'd love to try the others.

The comments at the bottom of that post made me curious about the 'Opimus' keyboard and sent me off to Google to look it up: http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/ -- it sounds intriguing with a faint-worthy price

there is no way i would pay that much for a keybord. But each key has its own screen is way cool

I really like the idea of the laser and rollup keyboards, though the wrist mounted keyboard looks interesting too.

Gelf, you mentioned you have used the laser and rollup types before, how easy are they to use? Do the work normally or do they take some getting used to to use effectively?

Anyone have any experience witht he wrist mounted keyboard? If so, same questions as posed to Gelf above please.

The laser keyboard looks ace and it is really useful, however, I found the business of typing on a flat surface uncomfortable - bear in mind that I use a natural keyboard.

From that perspective, I found the roll-up keyboard more comfortable than the laser but that said I'd still like to have both. Y'know, just in case
