LG to unveil roll-able wireless keyboard

DUBAI, August 30, 2015

LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its Rolly Keyboard (model KBB-700), the industry’s first solid wireless portable keyboard that can be rolled, at IFA 2015 in Berlin, Germany.

Unlike other portable keyboards on the market, LG’s Rolly folds up along the four rows to create an easy-to-carry “stick” that fits into one’s pocket as easily as any purse or briefcase, said the statement.

The device features high-contrast keys and a fold-out mobile device stand, typing on the keyboard is extremely comfortable because its 17mm key pitch is nearly as generous as the 18mm key pitch found on most desktop keyboards, it said.

Made of impact-resistant and durable polycarbonate and black ABS plastic, using the Rolly offers satisfying tactile feedback not found on flexible silicone keyboards.

Additionally, two sturdy arms fold out to support smartphones as well as tablets in an upright position.

Users can enables the auto pairing function by unfolding the Keyboard in order to connect easily to two different devices at the same time via Bluetooth 3.0 with the ability to toggle between the two with a simple key press. A single AAA battery powers the keyboard for up to three months of average use, said the statement.

Seo Young-jae, vice president in charge of innovative personal devices at LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, said: “LG Rolly Keyboard is just one of the many premium input devices we’ll be unveiling in the coming months as we expand our accessories offerings.”

“The goal was to create a product that could add more value to LG smartphones and tablets at the same time offering a unique design proposition that hadn’t been explored before,” he added.

The Rolly Keyboard will make its debut in September in the US, followed by key markets in Europe, Latin America and Asia in the fourth quarter.

Prices and details of availability will be announced locally at the time of launch, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
