Turn Your Keyboard Into Command Central
Most keyboards just type. This one also frees up the ports that laptops and compact desktops never give you enough of. Plug the keyboard in once, then connect everything else directly to it.
Because it uses a 2-in-1 USB-C / USB-A connector, the same keyboard connects to modern USB-C MacBooks, USB-C iPads, and older USB-A desktops alike — no separate SKUs, no adapters to lose.
Built to Disappear Into Your Workflow
3-Port Built-In Hub
2x USB-C and 1x USB-A ports live right on the keyboard, so you stop fighting for space on your laptop or dock.
True 2-in-1 Connector
One cable, dual plug — works with USB-C and USB-A machines out of the box. Universal by design.
Instant Plug-and-Play
No pairing, no batteries to swap, no drivers to install. Connect it and it works — every time, on every machine.
Compact 78-Key Layout
A full-function key layout with shortcut keys, sized down to save real desk real estate without cutting corners.
5-Foot Cable Reach
Long enough to reach a tower under the desk or a dock across the room — no extension cables required.
Durable, Sleek Frame
A solid, low-flex frame built to hold up under daily typing — backed by a 1-year warranty. Designed in California, serving Apple users for over 30 years.
One Keyboard. Every Desk It Touches.
It's built as a daily-driver keyboard for a single desktop — but the same things that make it great at home make it a favorite for schools and computer labs outfitting dozens of stations at once.
Home & Office Desks
A clean, compact everyday keyboard that also consolidates your mouse, drive, and charging cable into one connection — less clutter, fewer cables trailing off the desk.
Schools & Computer Labs
Labs and classrooms need hardware that just works, station after station. No batteries to replace across 30 machines. No Bluetooth pairing for IT to manage. A durable, wired connection that survives heavy daily turnover between students. It works on desktop towers/iMacs, laptops, and USB-C iPads with the same 2-in-1 connector, so a lab or 1:1 iPad cart can standardize on a single keyboard for every workstation type.
Desktop, Laptop, or iPad
Docked at a desktop setup during the day, unplugged and tossed in a bag for a laptop session later, or paired with a USB-C iPad for testing — it's the same plug-and-play experience across all three, with no reconfiguring.

Common Questions
Does it work with both laptops and desktops?
Yes. The 2-in-1 USB-C / USB-A connector plugs directly into modern USB-C laptops and older USB-A desktop towers alike, so the same keyboard covers both without an adapter.
Can I use it with an iPad?
Yes. Any iPad with a USB-C port (iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad 10th generation and later) supports external keyboards, so this connects directly and still passes the extra hub ports through while it's plugged in — handy for iPad carts in schools and labs.
Is it good for a school or lab setting with lots of stations?
It's a strong fit. It's fully wired, so there's no battery swapping or Bluetooth re-pairing across a room of machines, and the built-in hub means each station gets extra ports without extra hardware. It also holds up to heavy daily use across desktop, laptop, and iPad stations alike.
What can I plug into the hub ports?
Anything you'd normally plug into your computer's USB ports — a mouse, flash drive, external hard drive, or a charging cable for your phone or tablet.
Do I need to install drivers or pair anything?
No. It's plug-and-play — connect the cable and it's ready to use immediately.
What's the return/warranty policy?
It ships with a 30-day risk-free return window and a 1-year warranty.
