Besides its elevating keys, the bluetooth accessory has an anodized aluminium chassis and includes a kickstand for holding your tablet. It’s a slightly beefy 12.5mm thick, but that extra bulk is needed to provide room for the movable keys.
The keyboard is still in the prototype stage, but you can reserve a unit via Kickstarter. Pricing starts at $US79, but you can give as little as $US1 just to take part in the final design of the device. [Levitatr via Technabob]

The king of keyboard gimmicks remains the IBM laptop with the two part full size keyboard – that was all kinds of awesome.
