- The low-profile case and mechanical switches (0.75″ tall) reduce stressful bending of the wrists. Pair it with a 3rd party “wrist rest” for even more support.
- The integrated Windows Precision Touchpad makes it easy to point, click, scroll and Gesture without having to reach for a mouse and strain your neck and shoulders.
- Low profile mechanical switches are low force (50g) and full-travel (3.2mm) for less finger strain and fewer impact.
Aluminum Case
The Form is CNC machined from premium aluminum giving it incredible strength and durability, but without the excess weight. Perfect for tossing in a travel bag or suitcase.
Bluetooth or USB
The Form features multi-channel Bluetooth so you can pair it with 2 different devices (PC, Tablet, Smart Phone, Smart TV etc) and toggle between then with the flip of a switch.
