Prestigio touts new touchpad keyboard

ASBIS Enterprises Plc, a distributor of IT products in emerging markets of Europe, Middle East and Africa, has through its own in-house brand Prestigio, unveiled a touchpad on keyboard.

Dubbed Click&Touch, the latest keypad does not appear different from other keyboards but when you touch its keys, you realise that it can function not only as a keyboard, but also as a touchpad or mouse.

For a long time, the keyboard market has not seen any major changes, although technological progress is apparent in other areas. Prestigio said it has taken three years from the initial idea to its full implementation.

Click&Touch is an interactive multi-function keyboard system connecting a keyboard, touchpad and mouse. Users can connect to Click&Touch up to five devices simultaneously, and thanks to the automatic seamless transition between typing and cursor control modes, the device is more convenient than ever.

Prestigio’s latest offering automatically switches between keyboard and touchpad modes, supports gestures: cursor control, click, scroll, media sliders and greatly simplifies interaction with smart TVs.

A compact and lightweight keyboard also helps to save space on your desktop.

Thanks to the built-in sensors, users can control the cursor directly on the keyboard surface by just swiping your finger over the keys on the touch panel.
