Hi chaps, Google wasn't much help with this one.
I'm travelling a lot at the moment, and a tablet-with-ext.-keyboard combination is looking like a better bet than my existing Netbook. There are a couple of ruggedized tablets reaching the market soon that seem well-suited -- I'm keen on the Duke (meetduke.com) and the Toughlet (toughlet.com), both of which are water-resistant, daylight-readable etc.
What I can't find easily is a good keyboard. I'm picky (of course) and have yet to see anything suitable. I wonder if anyone is aware of a board with the following features:
* 60% or smaller (don't really have need of elaborate function layers, just full ascii plus the usual modifiers)
* Good-feeling key action (I'm on Blues at the moment but tend to like a crisp, rather stiff clicky)
* USB
* Lightweight
* Tough, waterproof etc -- see next para
I stated 'tough' rather than 'rugged' because ruggedized stuff tends to be heavy. Lightweight plastic would be fine if it's stiff, but the board must be resistant to water spills, dust, sand etc. Waterproof would be great, but I know it's a bit unlikely.
Open to all suggestions...
Best, W.
