The pocket-sized keyboard uses Near Field Communication (NFC) to pair instantly with
Android smartphones, allowing instant access to the keypad's large-scale set of
QWERTY-arranged physical keys.
Built for power typists who crave physical keys for speed and accuracy, the One2Touch
SoftPad C1 lets users simply unfold the keypad, touch their Android smartphone onto it and
start typing.
Instant workstation
Unfolding the three panels of the Softpad C1 reveals left and right key banks and a
landing pad for the smartphone to rest on (called the device cradle). The keypad's clasp
serves as a kickstand for the device cradle, giving angle and elevation to Android
smartphones up to five inches. With the device elevated and angled - above the keyboard -
the Softpad C1 has the stance of a traditional laptop, with a tiny footprint the suits the
slimmest airplane tray table or bench space.
Touch and type - instantly
NFC devices connect by being tapped together or placed in close proximity to each
other. One2Touch Softpad C1 users simply touch their Android device down onto the keypad's
device cradle and start typing - instantly. The phone and keypad pair instantly any time
the phone is placed on the device cradle.
Low battery drain
Connecting via NFC means the One2Touch Softpad C1 draws minimal battery from the
smartphone. Completely wireless, the Softpad C1's lifelong battery requires no charging.
