The idea of creating a portable keyboard is quite difficult as it must be small enough to bring around, but also be a similar size to regular keyboards. LG is able to achieve both with its new product. The Rolly Keyboard has two fewer rows than a regular keyboard and is slightly smaller but still allows for comfortable typing. The Rolly Keyboard is catered towards smartphone and tablet users who have difficulty [typing on their touchscreen devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keygo-touchscreen-keyboard).The keyboard comes with two sturdy arms that fold upwards to place your smartphone or tablet on. LG recognizes people's increasing reliance on their smartphones by introducing a keyboard that is convenient for home, the office or on the go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Keyboard Solutions:** There is a growing market for compact, portable keyboard solutions that can work with various devices. - **Multi-functional Tech:** Consumers are looking for technology that can perform multiple functions and tasks at once, such as a keyboard that can also function as a stand for their device. - **Flexible Device Accessories:** There is a demand for device accessories that are flexible, lightweight, and easy to carry, especially for users on-the-go. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mobile Device Accessories:** The mobile device accessory industry can benefit from creating more portable keyboard solutions to cater to users looking for more convenience and functionality. - **Tech Manufacturing:** Tech manufacturers can focus on creating more multi-functional and compact devices and accessories that cater to consumers' needs and preferences for on-the-go use and easy transport. - **Productivity Software and Tools:** Productivity software and tool industries could potentially collaborate with tech manufacturers to enhance and integrate portable keyboards for various devices, improving overall device usability and work efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Computer-Packed Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-keyboard-computer.md) - [Expanding Rollable Display Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-rollable.md) - [Portable Productivity Tablet Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-keystogo-2.md) - [Portable Clamshell Phone Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-kb-1.md) - [Wearable PC Keyboard Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-shell.md) - [Elongated Keyboard Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gboard-bar.md) - [Multifunctional Hidden Display Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scroom-keyboard.md) - [Totable Technology Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuphy-air60-wireless-mechanical-keyboard.md) - [Custom Magnetic Keyboard Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/typestick.md)
