For casual use, I could get by with it in a pinch. It is ridiculously high tech, definitely a conversation piece (whip it out at a restaurant, project it onto a table surrounded by friends, and watch the jaws drop)... and yes, about as geeky as it gets, but the learning and adjustment curve from a real keyboard is steep, and typing on a somewhat non-standard keyboard layout, projected on a hard, flat surface is pretty rough on the old fingertips after a while. A more conventional folding Bluetooth or IR keyboard is probably a better all-around solution, but if you like bleeding-edge technology, the VKB could quickly become your favorite new gizmo. Criteria  Rating Innovation 5 Usability 3 Design 4 Cost/Benefit 3 Overall (not an average) Pros Tiny, highly portable Very high "wow" factor Drivers on CD for many operating systems Keyboard crud will not affect it Pouch included (but will not hold the charger too) Cons Non-standard QWERTY layout Short battery life between charges "Click" sound but no tactile feedback at all Hard on the fingertips   User Opinions 0% 100% Read Opinions (1) Would you recommend I-Tech Virtual Laser Bluetooth Keyboard?
