--qicb3nxlo5n597Hpj7DdF9MeUadVenPWE9YtvO7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit http://www.typematrix.com/ TypeMatrix has qwerty, dvorak, french, etc. labeling. It's fairly small and easily goes in a laptop bag. It's just large enough to sit over a laptop keyboard which comes in handy in crowded spaces like planes. I don't know if they're selling bluetooth yet or not.
