Fusion Keyboard 2.0: Keyboard for tablet and smartphone is also a touchpad, cover and stand

The Fusion Keyboard 2.0 has now started crowdfunding in the form of a Kickstarter campaign and has an asking price of $89. Worldwide shipping scheduled for June, so this is more of a disguised pre-order campaign. As usual, crowdfunding campaigns come with financial risk for supporters.

This is not just a keyboard: the Fusion Keyboard 2.0 is supposed to have four functions. It can be used as a keyboard, of course, but also has an invisible touchpad. Specifically, 76% of the key surface functions as a touchpad, which is significantly larger than a conventional touchpad. The touchpad can also be used when one of the two hands is placed on the keyboard. According to the manufacturer, multi-touch gestures are possible.

The Fusion Keyboard 2.0 is offered both as a universal variant and specifically for the iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 12.9 - the adapted iPad variant also includes the cameras. Use with a smartphone is possible, and several devices can be paired. Weighing just 365 grams, the keyboard also acts as a cover and as a stand for ergonomic use.

Multimedia keys are provided to make operation easier. Users should note that the keyboard has the QWERTY layout, which is the typical layout for English-speaking countries.
