Sanwa Supply Launches Bluetooth Keyboard Case with Built-in Touchpad for iPad A16 and iPad 10th Generation

Sanwa Supply Inc. has announced the launch of the SKB-BTIPAD5BK, a Bluetooth keyboard with a dedicated case and built-in touchpad for the iPad A16 and iPad 10th generation, enabling users to operate their iPad with a laptop-like feel. The case and keyboard use a magnetic detachable design, allowing users to switch smoothly between laptop style and tablet style depending on the situation. For text entry, users can type efficiently as they would on a laptop; for touch-focused use, the keyboard can be removed so the iPad retains its original light and flexible usability. The keyboard adopts a JIS layout familiar to Japanese users and offers a solid typing feel. It is designed as a convenient and protective solution for using an iPad comfortably as a main device for business or study. The product is listed as a Bluetooth keyboard with case for iPad A16 and iPad 10th generation, with built-in touchpad and JIS layout. The model number is SKB-BTIPAD5BK, and the standard price is 15,180 yen including tax, or 13,800 yen before tax. Key features include a magnetically detachable case and keyboard, allowing the keyboard to be removed and the case to be used on its own; stepless angle adjustment that can be fixed at any preferred angle; a built-in touchpad for pointer control similar to a computer; and a Japanese JIS keyboard layout with 17 mm key pitch. The keyboard also includes shortcut keys for convenient operations such as the home button and volume adjustment. The keys feature a slight concave shape in the center, naturally guiding the fingertips for fast and accurate input. The keyboard uses an isolation-style layout with scissor-switch keys similar to those found on laptops. It also includes an auto-sleep function: when the case is closed, both the iPad and keyboard enter sleep mode, while the closed case helps protect the screen. The keyboard is rechargeable via USB Type-C and can be charged using the iPad’s USB Type-C charging cable. A 4-hour charge enables up to 266 hours of continuous operation. A pen holder on the side allows users to carry a stylus together with the device. The product can be folded into a compact form, making it easy to carry and use anywhere.
