Prestigio Click&Touch 2, keyboard and trackpad all in one

A keyboard and trackpad are essentials for working with your Mac or iPad, but What if you had both accessories in one device? Prestigio offers us a keyboard which is also a trackpad, and which has a compact design perfect for taking it with you everywhere.

A multi-device keyboard compatible with macOS, Windows, iOS, Android and virtually all platforms that support this type of input, configured to adapt the keys to any system and which it’s also a trackpad that even allows multi-touch gestures. It sounds like a dream but the reality is that Prestigio made it happen, and the recognition they achieved with a fantastic device that also won the “reddot 2021”.

main Features

We are facing a Bluetooth keyboard with a compact size and very light. With a size of 280mm x 128mm and a weight of only 283 grams, it is perfect to carry in any backpack or bag. However, it has a practically normal keyboard size, with large, well-spaced keys.. In fact, the keys are even larger than usual, since they barely leave any space between them so there’s an almost even surface on which you can slide your finger to use it as a trackpad.

Its Bluetooth connectivity allows it to be connected to any device supporting this type of connection: PC and Mac, iOS and Android, even televisions or game consoles as long as they support this type of connection. It also has 3 memories that you can select from the keyboard itself

, so switching between devices only takes a second. And if you want to use a wired connection, you can do that too.

The keyboard is battery powered, rechargeable via USB-C with the cable included in the box. The manufacturer does not indicate the autonomy of the keyboard, but in two weeks of normal use I have not had to recharge it yet (after a full charge it is easier to take it out of the box), so nothing to to repeat on this concerns. Plus, since you can use it by cable, if you ever run out of battery unexpectedly, you won’t have much of a problem either. The keyboard goes into sleep mode when not in use and also has a switch that turns it off for when you’re not going to use it for a long time.

And the most distinctive feature of this keyboard: the integrated trackpad. But when I say built-in, I don’t mean a trackpad that’s attached to the keyboard, but the keyboard itself is a trackpad. 80% of the keyboard surface acts as a touchpad, allowing you to control your computer or tablet pointer by sliding your finger across it, in the same way as if you were using a classic trackpad. You can even scroll with two fingers or gesture with three or four fingers. It also has a left and right mouse button at the bottom of the keyboard, more complete impossible.

Configuration options via app

A keyboard for so many devices and with so many functions needs configuration options, and for that we have an app for iOS and Android called Clevetura (link). There is no app for macOS, or rather, you can only use the app on your Mac if it has the M1 chip, which leaves out older Apple computer models. Anyway, who doesn’t have an iPhone or Android at home, so that’s not a big deal either.

If with everything I’ve told you, this keyboard seems like a perfect idea, wait until you see the configuration options it offers you. We said that it allows the use of up to four devices (cable + 3 Bluetooth memories), because for each of them you can create a profile, so that when you connect the Mac you have the Mac keys and their shortcuts

(for example, copy with cmd+c) and if you link a PC with Windows, theirs (copy with Ctrl+c). You can change the pointer or scroll speed, reverse the scroll direction, or choose between 3 or 4 finger gestures, all stored in each profile.

The Trackpad function can be changed to only the left half of the keyboard works, or the right half of the keyboard works, or completely disable the trackpad function or the keyboard function. All these configuration options are displayed through a very simple and intuitive interface, so it only takes five minutes for the keyboard to behave the way you want with the app. We can also perform firmware updates through the app.

As a keyboard, a remarkable

As a keyboard, there are few drawbacks to this Click&Touch 2, in fact I only have two: it cannot be tilted and it is not backlit. These are two negative points that are difficult to solve, because you have to choose between being so light and compact or including these features. Otherwise the behavior is remarkable. Typing has the same sensations as with a classic keyboard, much like typing on an Apple keyboard. The keys have a scissor mechanism, and their travel is short, the size is perfect, unlike other keyboards where they are too close together and sometimes you hit the keys you don’t want.

You have all the keys of any conventional keyboard, and also Accounts with Mac and Windows features. You even have mobile-specific keys, like the ability to lock your device. Function keys, cursors, multimedia control… nothing is missing from this keyboard.

As a trackpad, almost perfect

If we look in its trackpad facet, it encounters more than. Some gestures are missing, like two-finger zoom, and you have to choose between three- or four-finger gestures, you can’t have both at the same time. The trackpad surface takes up 80% of the total keyboard, basically the top 3/4 of the keyboard, and the keys are designed so that you can slide your finger smoothly, with the keys leaving almost no space between them for this reason. .

The top row of keys behaves somewhat differently for playback and volume control. The left part controls playback by swiping left or right to rewind or fast forward, and the right part controls volume in the same way. And be able to click we have two buttons just below the spacebar that do the primary and secondary click function. It’s very easy to get used to this behavior, comfortably accessing the click buttons with your thumb while using the rest of your fingers to move the cursor and make gestures. You can use it with the left or right hand, you will have no problem if you are left-handed.
