MALTRON keyboards all have the ability to turn off key repeating at the keyboard if it is not wanted. If allowed by the software in use, the repeat rate can be set to SLOW, MEDIUM or FAST at the keyboard.

Foldable lightweight keyboards

I tend to write very long emails on my Treo, and often waste time contorting my fingers to try and employ correct grammar, punctuation and spelling (not a very interesting OCD) rather than relying on shortcuts that every sane person on this earth has adopted by necessity. Sometimes I wish I could beam in my keyboard from home for a few minutes then beam it back, but I absolutely hate carrying alot of stuff, even when I'm going to be away for a few days (which is why disposable underwear makes alot of sense to me).

Elekson makes a full-size fabric keyboard for smartphones, PDAs and handheld computers using "Elektex Smart Fabric." The keyboard supports wired and bluetooth devices, runs for about 10 hours on 2 AAA batteries, rolls up into a compact size that can go in your purse, and is washable. It comes with a sack for storage and a stand for phones/PDAs. No information on the website regarding availability or price.

We met some of the folks from Well Lands Enterprise, the Taiwanese company that makes these colorful folding keyboards, which caught my eye at CES. I especially like the blue one that lights up. Unfortunately, there's no information on the company's website on who their U.S. distributors are, if any.

myKey0 Keyboard

You may have a limited desk space for your organizer or your computer keyboard, and it is many times difficult to keep all your things organized on your desk. The myKeyO can be a big help as this computer keyboard is also a productive organizer if you open it up. You can store all your CDs in the cases, desk accessories, and much more in the storage compartment located underneath the keyboard itself. Besides that, the myKeyO keyboard also features backlit keys, a scroll wheel, volume control, and an integrated palm rest area.

If you love this cool computer keyboard, you can buy it for $34.95 for a wired model and a wireless version for $49.95.

Glider Mouse Keyboard

It may be difficult for many of us to operate this computer mouse, which is attached to the bottom of a keyboard. Sporting a central mousing surface, left/right wrist pads, and a sure-to-be-misplaced ‘glider’ that bears a striking resemblance to an air hockey striker, this keyboard is definitely weird but good looking nonetheless

Customizable Keyboard

We have been trained to use the QWERTY keyboard for a while and most of us have lived with that without questioning the reasoning behind sticking with QWERTY keyboards, instead of simply trying out ACDIE keyboards.

Well, now there is a solution for those who don’t like the QWERTY keyboard layout and want their own version. This is a customizable computer keyboard which is called DX1 System. It used for gaming, software, photoshop, and preferences are fully customized for each button.

There is plenty of fun with the DX1 System, and you have to figure out your own way for a truly customized Keyboard.

DataHand Keyboard

This product is aimed for people who feel pain in their hands from typing with a traditional keyboard. Although it may help ease your pain, it still looks like a very strange keyboard many would be affraid to even put their hands on.

Orbitouch Keyboard

This keyboard could be a leftover from Area 51, or a prop from the set of any science fiction movie. Wonder how it works? Here’s what the manufacturer had to say: “The orbiTouch creates a keystroke when you slide the two domes into one of their eight respective positions. You type the different characters by sliding the domes to create letters and numbers. The orbiTouch also has an integrated mouse, so moving the domes gives you full mouse and keyboard capability!�

The target group for this keyboard is of course people who have limited or no motion in their fingers or hands. I can see that this one can aid many who may not even necessarily have difficulties, but its looks may be too odd for some.
