i like this keyboard and its blue color. but i am wondering if this one is also compatible with Mac. it seems that Mac is limited to dedicated keyboard, ah? and i have no idea about the quality of flexible PC keyboards? any guys has used one?

Any PC keyboard will work with a Mac. Fyi, some keys are different:

Have you actually used one of those? It takes a lot of mechanical force to type, and some people never adapt to them.

That said, a quick google search turns up Mac compatible ones that will definitely work.

ya! you make it so clear. thanks very much! that being so, it needs my shift in thinking to use it on a mac.

Yeah, it's not a big deal once you get used to it. I have an OS X VM, and with my Windows keyboard, I have to deal with that.

thanks for your heads up. i have never used a lexible keyboard. i just thought it would be good one. have you used one? how about it. from Evildave, it seems terrible.

I don't remember if I have, but I'm doubt those kinds of keys are good for doing much typing (after all, you need to make the material thick so it's durable like that, but when you do that you make it harder to push the keys). A better option might be one of those laptop-style keyboards that lacks the numberpad and such, having only the main qwerty section. (like the smaller apple desktop keyboard) For instance, this: http://www.amazon.co...ompact+keyboard

At the begining, i thought it may be convinient to carry and lay aside. it also said that it can be washed by water. then i take such an action on an impulse.

I have never used such keyborad, read about it, though. I think it's a gadget unless you need to have your own keyborad with you everywhere you go. But why should you? Besides, it can easily be damaged. Bending is not good for the thin circuitry as breaks may appear. And if you by chance sit on a keyboard rolled like that... 100% disaster.

i just came across it when i did online shopping. after i read about it, i thought it as a new gadget and maybe wonderful. it seems that i am wrong.
