Gary, I've seen and tried the rubber keyboards. I guess I could get by in a pinch if my laptop keyboard was in bad shape, but a keyboard version??? Just like my touchscreen suggestion, they don't even come close to the tactile feel needed for keyboard playing. Give me a Kurzweil 88 board anytime.

"Give me a Kurzweil 88 board anytime." 10 or 15 years from now, you won't be able to pick up that monster, and by that time the rubber keyboard will be perfected to have the same sluggish key feel as the Kurzweil. But, I could be wrong!

Cheers,

Gary

Well, I've seen and TOUCHED one of those rubber keyboards in Radio Shack. The feel is actualy very similar to the rubber buttons on arrangers and synths. Maybe even better.
I have to admit, I never tried it out while playing music.
