While the rest of the mobile accessory industry is going wireless, Griffin is taking back the cord and reminding us of how important it can be to stay connected, literally, to our iPad. The company has just announced the launch of a wired keyboard specifically designed for the iPad. This new accessory makes it possible for you to keep on typing when in situation where Bluetooth is not allowed.
Griffin’s Wired Keyboard for iOS Devices is specifically designed to bring a hassle-free, secure typing solution to students, teachers, and professionals. You won’t need to worry about keeping Bluetooth on while typing that report.
I have to admit that I’ve never been in a situation where electronic devices were aloud, but Bluetooth connection was not. Apparently, it is an issue in schools. This keyboard was designed specifically for dealing with difficulties pairing several iPad devices with different Bluetooth keyboards all at the same time. Instead of trying to wirelessly connect to one specific keyboard when the iPad is discovering 30 different devices, users simply plug in the full sized keyboard and start typing right away.
“Our Wired Keyboard is an easy plug and play solution that we designed for use in classrooms as a convenient option for students and teachers,” said Erin Wiles, Education B2B Business Development at Griffin Technology. “Additionally, with the advent of digital standardized testing, school districts are implementing rules for devices that require the use of an external keyboard not connected by Bluetooth. Our Wired Keyboard ensures that iPad tablets will meet SBAC and PARCC testing requirements.”
The keyboard includes the following features:
Keyboard for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Available in Lightning or 30-pin dock connector
Familiar keyboard layout and feel matches that of Apple’s Wireless Keyboard
One-meter built-in cable with connector
The security of a direct-wired connection
No batteries to replace; powered through the connector
Griffin’s Wired Keyboard of iOS Devices is available for $59.99. Visit the company’s website to order yours today.
