“With tablets becoming more and more common in the workplace we wanted to create a mobile typing solution for the tablet power user,” said Scosche executive VP Kas Alves, in a statement. “The freeKEY gives our customers the ability to comfortably respond to lengthier, more formal work emails and draft documents that would be otherwise difficult to create.”

The freeKEY uses Bluetooth 2.0 and works with iOS and Android devices as well as Mac and Windows PCs with Bluetooth capability. Once a freeKey is paired with a device it will automatically re-pair the next time the keyboard powers up. Scosche also includes a retractible USB-to-microUSB charger.

Scosche is offering the freeKEY now for $59.99. The company has produced a video detailing the freeKEY’s water resistance and portability.
