fabric keyboards for smartphones and handheld computers

Tap on it, stroke it and roll it up in your pocket! The unique Elektex fabric sensor touchpad at the heart of the keyboard revolutionises electronic interface design.

Soft, lightweight and low-power ElekTex fabric is only 0.6mm thick and easy to integrate into both existing and new electronics designs. Highly durable, flexible and washable, ElekTex is tough enough for use in the most gruelling industrial applications but soft enough to be used in children's clothing.

Eleksen's fabric keyboard meets the need for familiar and flexible data input devices and marries that with customer desire for lightweight, small form-factor products that fit in a pocket. The Eleksen standard fabric keyboards roll-out to laptop keyboard size and then roll-up to fit easily in a pocket or bag.

The idea has enormous potential for disaster relief situations. Let‘s just hope their patent doesn’t impede it's widespread implementation.
