Many people tend to settle for normal or cheap keyboards every time they renew their PC. When they buy a laptop instead of a PC, the feeling that this device can offer them is not usually one of the most important reasons when deciding to buy. However, users who spend many hours in front of a computer, be it desktop or laptop, the keyboard is a fundamental part when it comes to being said by one or another model. Microsoft knows it has just launched a new keyboard that also offers us an extra security, a fingerprint reader on the Windows key.
This new keyboard offers us some keys with a very short travel, very similar to the keyboard that we can currently find in the optional keyboard that is sold with the Surface Pro and that is priced at 99 euros. However, this new keyboard offers us a lighter touch, it is made of aluminum, in addition to offering a plus of security that is in addition to what we can currently find with devices managed by Windows 10 and which is called Windows Hello. This new keyboard is not exclusive to PCs but we can also use it on a Mac or any other device thanks to its double connection: Bluetooth or through a USB connection.
The Modern Keyboard, as Microsoft has baptized it, has a range if we connect it via Bluetooth of 15 meters, although in offices where there are many devices of this type, the manufacturer assures us a range of 7 meters without problems. The price of this new keyboard is $ 129, a somewhat high price if we buy it with other keyboards, but it is cheaper than the Magic Keyboard that Apple offers us, a keyboard that is priced at 149 euros, but unlike this , It is only compatible with Apple devices, although with some other settings, we can adopt it to a PC or another device that is not managed with macOS.
The battery, a fundamental part of this type of wireless device, can last up to two months without having to be recharged at any time. Obviously this keyboard is designed and thought for all those people who spend many hours in front of the computer and where the keyboard is a fundamental part of our day to day.
