About three weeks ago, I decided to buy a keyboard for my laptop, since it is rather inconvenient to work on it myself. Came on Habr and the first post saw the
Flexible, shone, waterproof Brando keyboard . Then
usb.Brando , order, PayPal, shipping address. That came today parcel.
First about the delivery. In Brando not lied. That delivery will be carried out in 7-20 days. I had a keyboard for 18 days. Although the first week, the order status was "Pending". When asked what the problem was, the answer was that the goods were out of stock, and would be sent soon, upon receipt. The nearest time came in a week, from the day of order.
I'll be back to the device itself. The keyboard itself flew in this form.

Nondescript rumpled and scotch tape rewound.
Inside was a box with a keyboard. Photo taken after extraction. She is so murdered and arrived.

But in fact, it was not up to the box. Inside I found only the instruction, keyboard and USB - PS / 2 adapter.
Now about the keyboard itself. All her charms were listed in the
topic .

Although negative qualities first appeared in the eyes. And they turned out to be quite a lot ... (read about positive moments
here or
there .)
- She is wide. Wider than a regular keyboard about 5-10 cm.
- The instructions say that you need to gently bend the keyboard and not press it. Twisted into a roll, it is quite problematic.
- Buttons to press uncomfortable. Get used to a long and painful.
- Only the substrate is highlighted. The buttons themselves in the dark can not be disassembled.
- No Russian layout.
- It is impossible to work not on the table. On something soft or on your lap it’s impossible to type something.
- If you press a button, you can not only the top, but also the bottom of the keyboard. If something rolls under it, sticking the button is guaranteed. It is problematic to transfer the keyboard without pressing any key
- The ergonomics are just awful.
- Near the 2 keys of the space bar there are two more. They do not carry any functionality, but often fall under the finger instead of a space.
Some of these points can be ignored (for example, the Russian layout), but looking at the rest you can see how the area of application and usability of the device is greatly reduced.
Conclusions: this keyboard is not suitable as a keyboard for a laptop, except for working on the table. A great gift for a geek but useless for a normal user whose keyboard knowledge is not perfect. It is also unknown what will happen to the hands (hands) after a long work. At first, hands are very tired.
Although it is impossible not to notice the advantages. More precisely one big joy:
