LG Launches Rolly Keyboard 2 in South Korea, Comes With Five Rows of Keys
LG has officially unveiled its follow up for its portable and rollable Bluetooth keyboard. According to a report by Slash Gear, the tech giant introduced to the public the LG Rolly Keyboard 2 on Thursday, April 14 and it's deemed to be better and more convenient.
It's also considered to be a response to Apple's Smart Keyboard and Microsoft's Surface Type Cover, as noted in Ubergizmo. And though it's not yet very popular to many, it's no surprise that the product gets a successor due to its major design win last year. MS Power User also reported that the LG Rolly Keyboard 2 is bigger in size as it now feature a fifth row of dedicated number keys and special functions. There's also a vertical support now to hold up to three devices in place and to help roll and unroll the keyboard. The first model could only accommodate two devices.
But unlike the original model, the updated version now rolls up into a pentagon instead of into a rectangular although, that doesn't make much of a difference. Giving the wireless keyboard power is a single AAA battery, which means that owners can just replace it with a new one once it runs out. The company claims that it can last up at least 3.5 months or so.
