Most of us are typical PC users or laptop users and have become accustomed to our keyboard size and key locations, but for a select few, you run off a table PC or Netbook. If that’s the case, then you’re probably looking for a nice, compact, portable travel keyboard. Today we found your item.
The Atek OnBoard USB keyboard is compact in size, layout like a full QWERTY keyboard and sturdy case for portability. The OnBoard uses a slide out protective case during transit and an inflatable wrist pad for once you’ve settled in. The keyboard uses a USB cable to connect and has a tight wrap-around storage area for the cable iteself.

The Optimus Keyboard is a brilliant twist on the traditional keyboard. Each key runs a OLED so a specific image illuminates the function of that specific key.
