Matias intros Folding Keyboard, iFold bundle

Matias today unveiled its new Folding Keyboard, a full size USB keyboard that folds in half for easy transportation. The keys sit on dome switches which are designed to give the keyboard a responsive, tactile feel, while still being able to support the weight of the users hands. The numerics pad features a dedicated tab key, located where the clear button is, which the company says will greatly enhance spreadsheet workflow. The Matias Folding Keyboard will be shipping in mid-December for $60, and Matias is offering free shipping for all customer pre-orders.

The Folding Keyboard has a unique Function key, located where the caps lock normally is, which Matias claims will greatly increase users' productivity. The standard volume keys are present, and the keyboard features full size arrow keys. Matias will be also be offering a bundle of the Folding Keyboard and the iFold, which the company will sell for $100, a $20 savings over buying the two products separately.

This would go great with a tablet computer. Use the stylus or MultiTouch for most tasks. Plug in the keyboard when you need serious text entry.

Yeah, no Bluetooth. What an omission! Too bad. At least it has Mac-centric keys clearly marked!

My new Apple Wireless Keyboard is probably less than half the size of this!
