The SKFP Combo Keyboard includes a trackpad that flips under to save room when on the go. Plus, its case folds to become a stand for an iPad.

The accessory is for anyone who wants a portable wireless keyboard that can be shared with multiple iPads.

Easily add this mobile keyboard to 3 iPads

The Apple Magic Keyboard is a popular iPad accessory because it’s both a case and a keyboard. But it’s designed for one iPad model, and can’t be used with others.

In contrast, the SKFP Combo Keyboard is a stand-alone accessory that can be used with iPads of a range of sizes. Or an iPhone, if preferred. The Bluetooth device can be paired with up to three computers, then switch between them at the press of a button. A family or group of coworkers who each only occasionally need a keyboard could share one.

The full-size keyboard offers backlights with three levels of brightness and a range of color options. And the keyboard detaches from the cover/stand so the user can type with the iPad at any distance.

SKFP Combo Keyboard is designed for on-the-go use, and is 11.4 inches wide, 5.0 inches tall and 0.55 inches thick. In order to attain that slim shape, the trackpad folds out of the way when not in use.

Now on Kickstarter

The SKFP Combo Keyboard can be preordered now from the crowd-funding site Kickstarter. The Super Early Bird price is $49 – half the regular cost.

It’s made in space grey or light silver to match the tablet.

The portable iPad keyboard is scheduled to start shipping in March 2022.
