We already covered the announcement of the new Matias tactile-
keyboards but couldn't resist descending into the show floor in
order to get a quick hands-on with the Canadian-made kit. The
USB-powered boards contain a Bluetooth module and a physical
button (with a blue LED) that you can switch between typing on
your desktop and wirelessly to your device. The "Island-Style"
SlimOne replicates the look and feel of the current Apple
island-keyboard, but with scissor keys, which pleasantly resist
your fingers. The '90s style Tactile One forces your hands to
readjust back two-decades, but the mechanical board was a joy to
use, with no lag between typing and it appearing on a compatible
phone. After the break we've got a short video where we learn
that retro keyboards can send people into such a frenzy that
they forget to type the word "movie" correctly.  Matias Tactile
