My favorite keyboard is a silicone roll-up keyboard. I first got one probably fifteen years ago as a result of my brother getting in a fight with me and pulling the cord out of the keyboard we had. The Radio Shack in town only had this odd blue silicone roll up keyboard, so we bought it. Turns out it's basically silent to type on, which was very nice at the time because my dad would always wake up from the keyboard noise and get after us to go to sleep. Served the same useful purpose in college when I had roommates. The thing these days that I like most about it is that it's completely flat, which means I can rest my wrists on the desk and not get weird RSI issues from my wrists being out of alignment. The main complaint people have ever had about using it is that it forces you to learn how to hit the keys exactly on center because just hitting them on the edge will cause the silicone to buckle without hitting the switch. Really I think it's made me a better typist overall. They do tend to break maybe every five years or so. More often if you pick it up or attempt to at all take advantage of the "roll up" feature. Also it's sealed, so if something spills on it, you just needs to wipe it up and no harm done.
