PRESS RELEASE
Six rows of island keys, a full suite of iOS short cut keys and Keyboard removability - Kensington's KeyFolio keyboard brings finger acrobatic to an end
Aylesbury - October 23, 2013 - Kensington, a worldwide leader in delivering smart. safe. simple. mobile accessories today announced three new families of keyboard cases designed to maximize the potential of the new iPad in the hands of its proud new owners, both at home, in the work place and on the move.
The full range of Kensington KeyFolio products for the iPad Air feature the finest tablet keyboards ever. The iPad typist is provided with six rows of island keys, each with enough dedicated space to increase typing accuracy. A full suite of iOS shortcut keys, including cut and paste, Siri and two usable shift keys avoid finger acrobatics, especially for left handers. Screen viewing angle adjustment is a snap thanks to a choice of three positions, held in place magnetically. What's more is that the Kensington KeyFolio offers a battery life of up to 960 hours' working time.
In designing the all-new KeyFolio for iPad Air, Kensington worked to address common niggles, for example introducing extra stability to avoid keyboard bounce, although the new KeyFolio family is still thin and light enough to match the iPad's slenderness. Kensington's pursuit of user flexibility is underlined by the removable keyboard and instant Bluetooth pairing. As a result, the keyboard matches any laptop for comfort and accuracy while coupled with the iPad's responsiveness and convenience.
Stephen Hoare, European Marketing Director at Kensington, says: "Thanks to the ground-up development of the Kensington KeyFolio Exact, Pro and Executive covers, no iPad Air owner needs to compromise their comfort or productivity. It's about offering uncompromised typing on a proper keyboard. It's simple, the keyboard doesn't slide or wobble and has more keys than the usual tablet keyboard, so you don't require finger acrobatics to perform favourite shortcut functions. Apart from that you can also adjust the viewing angles."
