The Mokibo Fusion Keyboard 2.0 is looking to streamline you’re on-the-go iPad typing setup with a clean third-party solution that has a very special trick up its sleeve (or beneath its keys). There are times when having to lug around a mouse to transform your iPad or tablet into more a proper workstation can be cumbersome or just overall annoying (tight spaces, small work surfaces, extra kit to carry, and so on), but the new Fusion Keyboard 2.0 delivers an all-in-on typing solution set within a folio style case that also hides a trackpad of sorts directly under the keys. Take a look below.
Fusion Keyboard 2.0 with invisible trackpad
Okay so, at first glance the Fusion Keyboard 2.0 just looks like another one of those third-party keyboard add-ons for tablets or otherwise, albeit with a particularly clean aesthetic to my eyes. And, in many ways it is – it works with Windows, Apple gear, Android setups, and more and can seamlessly switch between three devices at a time at the touch of a button.
But one special feature is the invisible touchpad hidden under the keys. So yes, you can type on them like any other Bluetooth keyboard out there, but there is also a touch or trackpad in place – you can slide your fingers across the surface of the keys for navigational purposes and highlighting things on screen the way you would with a mouse. It is also ambidextrous so you can assign either side of the keys to be the trackpad.
Sure you could just pack a mouse in your bag or use the touchscreen the way it was, largely, meant to be (it is an iPad after all), but for power users and folks that feel at home on a traditional laptop, this interesting bit if invisible tech might be worth a closer look at.
Fusion Keyboard 2.0’s multi-touch area is now larger and more responsive than ever before—3x larger than the average laptop touchpad.
Covering over 76% of the keypad area, it intelligently detects and automatically switches between type and touch modes, so you can seamlessly transition between typing, swiping, and scrolling.
The Mokibo Fusion Keyboard 2.0 has now landed in Kickstarter, soared past its $6,000 goal (by a lot!), and you can land one with early bird pricing starting from $89 right now, or about 36% off. Disclaimer: We are not responsible for Kickstarter units not shipping on time (or ever), just for writing about cool new gadgets…but this one does look legit and is scheduled to do so starting next month.
