That's great Jim, I also noticed it very immune to rfi and easy to use. Hey if you spill your drink , coffee etc its no issue, wash it off and towel it down and keep going even if wet.
Be great for field day/outside use/dxpeditions etc, the buttons respond well too. I ordered a spare, as they are such a good deal.

Took exactly 30 seconds to fall in love with it. Also, even without any ferrites on it, no RF problems apparent even with the KPA500 running 600+ out on RTTY and the other one would lock up. I did pick up a whole bunch of type 31 snap on ferrites that are about 1.5 inches long and a couple of them killed the problem on the little silver KB. This rubber one is going to be great as I do a lot of the local hamfests as a demo guy for Elecraft, taking my own equipment and showing it off with a tripod mounted homebrew antenna. I usually wind up working some pretty decent DX on RTTY or CW during the demo's and I never run more than 5 watts out at a hamfest to make sure nobody gets an RF burn if they happen to grab the antenna while I'm transmitting. This roll-up KB has a much better feel than I really expected and is really easy to type on. I think I'll order 3 more of them to have one for each laptop and a spare if one fails. Thanks for the info.
