The conceptual Royole 'RoType' keyboard is a stylish aftermarket peripheral for computer users that will offer them an impossibly compact device for getting work done out of the house. Measuring just 0.04mm in thickness, the keyboard is capable of being rolled, bent and flexed without becoming deformed to make it perfect for use outside the traditional office. When not in use, the keyboard will roll into a compact metal case for added protection and convenience that's perfect for carrying alongside tablets or laptops.
The conceptual Royole 'RoType' keyboard is the winner of the 2019 A’ Design Award and will deliver a full-size user experience that's just 10% of the volume of traditional peripherals. This addresses the increasing number of consumers who are holding freelance or remote employment that require devices for getting work done from anywhere.
