Here's an unusual one... A wireless keyboard that rolls up and houses a detachable bluetooth speaker. It's called the Compectus and is currently featured on Indiegogo. This keyboard is incredibly slim (to facilitate the rolling function), features several function keys and rechargeable battery. The design of the Compectus is very similar to a keyboard manufactured by LG called the Rolly though that keyboard does not feature any built-in sound.

Compectus Rolling Keyboard - Compectus - Bringing innovation to your fingertips

This is a nice roll-up keyboard. The speaker stand looks useful for users who want better sound, and a stand to hold their smartphone or tablet while they type on the keyboard.

I think this rolling keyboard is useful for laptop and desktop PC users who connect their laptop or desktop to a TV or large monitor while the user use a desk which is farther away from the PC. Some built-in speakers on cheaper TVs and most monitors also don't sound very good, so having a separate external speaker can be useful for people with TV and monitors with bad sounding built-in speakers.
 
It looks good but appears to have a flaw or two (with its instructions) and it looks like the funding isn't going well.

Most new companies may not have enough money to hire a good translator, they translate the instructions themselves, or ask someone like their Chinese family member who took a English class in China or self-taught english to translate their instructions for free. When you hire cheap translator, translate instruction yourself, or ask someone to translate for free, the translations won't be as good as hiring someone who knows how to translate to English.

The price is kind of expensive at $125 on Indiegogo. Most people who use crowd sourcing sites mainly use them to get a good deal on un-released products.

A lot of people may just buy a foldable keyboard case, and a cheap wireless speaker from eBay and Amazon for $50 or less.
