as smartphones and tablets become the dominant work equipment, the waytools ‘textblade’ transforms the typing capabilities on these devices through a lightweight and compact keyboard. using patented multitouch key technology, the product, weighing just 42.5 grams and a third of the size of an iPhone 6, is the slimmest full QWERTY design to date and can easily fit into a pocket. comfort and the ease of which to type are provided as the the multilayer keys are of desktop finger-spacing.

‘textblade is an entirely new class of device that delivers professional-grade, familiar touch typing to any platform – from iPhones to iPads to android, without compromising the size or feel of the tablet.’ said mark knighton, CEO of waytools.

the touch-type machine connects to devices via ultra low energy bluetooth smart, and as well as enabling full-screen content production, it still preserves all of the use advantages of touch-screens. the key pads which use precision maglever mechanisms to deliver quality feel, magnetically fix with the spacebar. this component is made from a slim, specifically engineered lithium polymer battery which similarly to all the other parts of ‘textblade’, can fast charge on any USB port.
