It is one keyboard that we can only described as “ridiculously small” and yet providing the functionality you expect from a QWERTY keyboard without shrinking the keys. When collapsed, it measures just one third the size and weight of an iPhone, which is crazy compact and could easily slip into your jeans’ front pocket. Perhaps the most ‘insane’ part about this awesome keyboard is, it maintains full 19mm finger spacing much like its significantly larger desktop counterpart and on top of that, it offers a full 2mm travel and of course, extra large keytops so there is no worry about how fat your fingers are.
