New Bluetooth keyboards announced by Verbatim, gives you more control on your Device

We have seen various Bluetooth keyboards from quite a few manufacturers. Of course the most popular is the dock/keyboard made for the Transformer and Transformer Prime. Although they are docked and now Bluetooth, why should they get all the fun? Verbatim has made at least 2 Bluetooth keyboards compatible with Android and iPhone that I can think of. The most recent addition to their line up of accessories has quite a few features that make them extremely attractive for even an average user.

The are made to be ultra compact coming in at 8.7 x 0.2 x 4.7 inches and weighing only 7.2 ounces. Featuring a rechargeable battery that recharges via a USB cable avoiding the need to carry around a bunch of batteries all the time. Enhanced keys offer features that are great to have on your device but often time tricky to use like, cut, copy and paste. The keyboard actually has dedicated keys for this process. If that isn’t enough to make you want one, lets not forget to mention the added music control buttons and soft touch keys.

They are available now at Amazon and come in either black or white. If you are looking for the perfect gadget geek present that not everyone else has, one of these would do the trick. It will work with the Motorola XOOM, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Nexus and any other device that has HID support built in.Full press release below –
