Accessory Tablet

Panasonic unveiled its ToughPad FZ-G1 rugged tablet back at CES 2014 but it did not offer a keyboard dock with it. Now such an accessory has finally been unveiled by a third party, namely iKey, its fully rugged keyboard being known as FZ-G1 Jumpseat.

More than just helping professionals who work in risky environments to enter data easier and faster than before, the iKey FZ-G1 Jumpseat also protects the screen of its tablet companion. The snap-in-place keyboard consists of a full QWERTY rubber keypad with backlit keys protected by a strong magnesium case and it also features a trackpad with gesture recognition capabilities.

Just like the Panasonic ToughPad FZ-G1 it connects to, the iKey FZ-G1 Jumpseat is resistant to dust, dirt, and spills. The keyboard can last up to two months on a single charge and its Li-ion battery can easily be recharged via the tablet's USB port.

Unfortunately the price of the iKey FZ-G1 Jumpseat is still unknown, as this handy accessory should become available later this month, when those interested will be able to purchase it directly from Panasonic.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
