    Hi :hello:

    I've tried them. They're more of a novelty really. In my experience, they aren't that reliable or responsive. You have to make sure you press the keys down firmly, otherwise they won't respond. So if you're a fast typist, then this might slow you down...

    As I said though, this is just based on my experience

    I haven't used them, though they look horrible to use and don't seem to offer anything a small keyboard wouldn't.

    This is what I use. It's very small, easy to slip into a bag, very light, and it's incredibly responsive because it's a chicklet keyboard (like a laptop). I see why a squidgy rollable keyboard would be any improvement on that other than being spill-proof.

    They're horrible keyboards, it's like typing on mush, just too slow to use. it's responsive as RyJ mentioned.

    Really bad, have to push the keys just right so they go straight down, otherwise they go at an angle and don't register. I got mine for free and still feel bad.

    They're horrible keyboards, it's like typing on mush. Plus no apple specific keys, needs a dongle. It's a bad PC keyboard and an abysmal Mac one.
