I'm looking for a good foldable USB keyboard.
Preferrably something the size the the ThinkOutsides. Atleast when its folded.

A full size keyboard that folds up small would be perfect.

What kind of application did you have in mind? A PPC or PC?

I haven't seen foldable PC keyboards, although 'rollable' keyboards do exist. I've played with one and was not impressed, but they work well in some niche situations. Here's a link:

Good luck! :wink:

David is correct AFAIK. There's not a big call for foldable USB boards. The closest I have seen are the Virtually Indestructible rollables. I have one of the compact boards and I have used it occasionally with my e805, but I find the feel hard to adjust to. There haven't been enough USB host capable PPC devices out to create a big demand for foldables yet, though that may change as this becomes a more common feature.

Thanks guys.

I just found this one (http://www.epiacenter.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=28).

Its being sold by Fellowes. Maybe I'll venture to CompUSA and see how small it folds to.

I had forgotten all about that board. It came out a while ago and aimed at the tablet market. Let us know how it works with the WM keyboard driver.
