This is my one of my masterpiece pad with trackpad and keyboard, different from all mouse and keyboard, it has the function of mouse and keyboard at the same time. The most special size is its size. The size of the traditional mouse and keyboard brings a lot of inconvenience in the use of multiple scenes. Only the same size as the iPhone 6 allows you easy to use it, so you can easily hold it in your hand and type. When you need to use the mouse function, you just need to reverse it and use its trackpad function to easily control your device. There is a power switch on the left side of the fuselage and a mode change-over switch on the right side of the fuselage. In order to prevent unnecessary accidental touch, keyboard mode is up and trackpad mode is down. In the middle is the automatic mode. There is a Bluetooth switch below the mode switch, which supports the switching of three devices, making it easier for you to switch between multiple devices. Now the performance and function of intelligent devices are becoming more and more powerful. Simple and portable is the language of design now. Because the efficiency of virtual keyboard typing is not high, the traditional keyboard and mouse can not get rid of the shackles, but it is not convenient to use in many scenarios. Now mobile office is becoming easier and easier. The popularity of LTE and 5g makes the network speed faster and faster The performance of devices is becoming more and more powerful, such as Microsoft’s surface and Apple’s iPad. When you write an article with your smart device in many scenarios, such as the table is too low and the chair is too high. When you type with your laptop or iPad Keyboard, you will feel very tired if you do not adapt to the posture. Or some special scene, such as you are lying on the sofa or bed. Trackpad and keyboard is designed to let you hold it in your hand like you hold a mobile phone, type with your left and right thumbs, or control trackpad with just one thumb. Its compact design makes it easy to use just by holding it in your hand.
