World's Thinnest Keyboard Is a Half Millimeter Thick

An English research firm unveiled on Monday a keyboard that is less than a half millimeter thick — making it the thinnest in the world

CSR, the firm behind the technology in products like Beats Wireless headphones and Nike+, has now created Surface, a thin slice of flexible touchscreen with a custom-printed keyboard on top.

The device connects to your tablet or smartphone using a low-power version of Bluetooth. This specially designed chip allows the keyboard to pair with the latest devices without carrying a large battery, aiding in that ultra-thin design.
