Razer Releases World's First Ultra-low-profile Mechanical Keyboard Switch

Razer have been known in the PC space for sometime, laptops, keyboards and mice and occasionally they have moved into the console gaming space, but this time they have gone mobile.

Today, Razer have announced the Razer Ultra-Low-Profile Mechanical Switch, a first in the world of keyboard mechanical switches. The switches will be initially outfitted into the Razer Mechanical Keyboard Case for the Apple iPad Pro.

“We’re commonly thought of as a company that makes phenomenal products for gamers, but to design the very best products, we’ve had to innovate from the ground up – even from each individual component such as mechanical switches,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “We’re excited about the potential of our Ultra-Low-Profile Mechanical Switch and look forward to exploring other applications in addition to the mechanical keyboard we’ve designed for the iPad Pro.”

The Razer Mechanical Keyboard Case for the Apple iPad Pro is equipped with Bluetooth technology for simple connecting and a metal kickstand. The case is available now at RazerStore.com. Of course, give that the unit is bluetooth enabled, there will be a thinking about battery life, if you have the keys illuminated at full brightness, you can expect around 10 hours of use from the keyboard. If you do the smarter thing and keep the keys off, or at a lower brightness level, expect to get around 600 hours of use.

The keyboard can  be purchased for $259.95
