Genius LuxePad i9010: a Versatile Mini Keyboard for the iPad Mini

Lightweight wireless Bluetooth keyboard turns tablets into mini notebooks

19 November 2013, Chino, California – Genius today releases the LuxePad i9010, a new Bluetooth keyboard designed for the iPad mini. The LuxePad i9010 enhances the iPad mini's productivity and ease-of-use with a great combination of features, style, and simplicity.

The LuxePad i9010 keyboard can effectively turn an iPad mini into a powerful mini laptop, with a touch-sensitive screen as well as a keyboard, that makes surfing the web, emailing and communication far quicker and easier. The keyboard offers up to 180 hours usage on its own rechargeable long life internal lithium battery, to avoid draining the iPad's power.

Transforming the iPad Mini

LuxePad i9010 users can now avoid the discomfort and slow typing speed of an on screen keyboard, and also free up more screen space to view documents, emails and web pages. The navigation keys help users move around large documents rapidly and comfortably, without having to take their hands away from the keyboard.

Using the latest Bluetooth 3.0 standard for long battery life and reliability, the LuxePad i9010 provides a cable free workspace for the iPad mini. The keyboard's ultra smooth scissor type key structure provides great tactile feedback. Eleven specific function keys provide quick access to a wide range of iPad features, without having to reach for the screen, enhancing controllability and enjoyment.

Very Easy to Carry

The LuxePad i9010 keyboard can easily be carried along with the iPad mini when traveling, thanks to its clip-n-go design. The magnetic clip securely attaches the keyboard cover instantly to the iPad mini. At only 231g, little more than a mobile phone, its weight is barely noticable.

LuxePad i9010 wakes automatically when the cover is opened, and sleeps when the cover is closed, to extend battery usage. There's also a low battery indicator light to warn that the battery needs to be recharged soon. A micro USB cable is included for recharging the battery. The simple but versatile stand holds the iPad mini at the optimum viewing angle, in either vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation.

This versatile new mini keyboard supports iPad mini operating systems from iOS4 up.

It's sure to be popular with iPad mini owners and buyers, and it's now available from Genius.
