Samsung has a new wireless keyboard that it is yet to officially announce but there is already a listing of the device on its website. Called the Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500, the wireless keyboard is designed to pair with up to three different devices.
The Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500 comes
in two colors – Black and White. The former has some of its keys in orange
which include three hotkeys for quickly launching select apps and a shortcut
key for DeX. There are also three grey keys that are for easy switching between
the three connected devices. On the white variant, the orange keys are light
blue.
While this is a Bluetooth keyboard that
should work with any device that has Bluetooth, some of its features are
exclusive to Samsung devices. For example, the hotkey function is exclusive to
Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets running One UI 3.1 with March 2021’s security
patch or later. DeX is also only available on select phones and tablets.
The Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500 has 78
keys, uses two AAA batteries, and connects via Bluetooth 5.0. It weighs 412.3
grams and measures 280.4 x 127.4 x 15.4 millimeters. While it doesn’t have feet
to raise it, the keyboard has an angled design and thus slopes downwards. There
are also slip-resistant pads underneath to keep the keyboard in place when in
use.
We do not know when Samsung will unveil
the keyboard and how much it will cost but Max Jambor of AllAboutSamsung who
appears to have first spotted the keyboard thinks it may be an extra accessory
for the new Galaxy Book models set for launch on April 28. So maybe Samsung
will announce it on that day.
