It is a real keyboard, but it has no phsical keys. It is a display, but it is supposed to be a keyboard.
This keyboard is no longer a keyboard under the traditional definition. Keys are showed on a touch screen display which can also display images and videos by programming. This is a wonderful and crazy stuff.
Check out the following video, you’ll learn what we are talking about:
The iKey AK-39 is a full computer keyboard that built to NEMA 4X and MIL-461 specs with water proof, force resistant and anti electromagnetic design.
You can use it left-handed or right-handed, most importantly, one-handed.
Its backlight will ensure that you have a night vision friendly computing interface.
You can quate one of these smart keyboards on iKey official website.
You can also check out the introduction video from the manufacturer on youtube:
No keyboard but touchscreen, that’s how Apple designed iPhone. If you are an iPhone fan, you may never think that one day the way you use iPhone could be like use a blackberry. But this small little thing called iTwinge gives it the availability to put a physical keyboard on iPhone and use it like a blackberry.
Though it’s a good idea and very handy to type with a typical QWERTY for long emails/text/blogs, it has some design defects such like power consumption directly from iPhone, wouldn’t be able to use when flip the iPhone over, too fat to be a attachment, etc.
According to the manufacturer, it can improve the typing speed by 30% -40% and also reduce the typing errors by 70% -80% for a common user.
Anyway, a good try to attach physical keyboard to iPhone to make it easier to type on it for some people. With US$29.99, you can get one from mobilemechatronics.com.
