DIY FlexiboardThere are a variety of portable keyboards out there now from roll up types to the laser projected ones.  But if they appear a tad on the expensive side still and you have an old/spare regaular keyboard hanging around………………

Remove the inner membrane from an unwanted set of keys, make sure the control board is accurately reassembled onto said membrane and cut out letters in the font of your choosing to keep you on track when your touch typing skills begin to fade.

That’s all there is to it.  It’s an amazingly easy and absolutely inelegant method of crafting your own rollable keyboard.  Hit up the read link for all, oh, five steps.
