Be productive on the go with the laptop-like experience of the Travel Keyboard. Use the Travel Keyboard on your tablet when you are ready to work. Fold it on top of your tablet to protect the screen from scratches in transit. Type comfortably on full-sized and well-spaced chiclet style keys. Whether you are in a dim hallway or a bright room, backlit keys keep you productive regardless of the lighting. A high-precision, gesture touchpad makes it easier to make selections on screen and to move from one application to the next.
