While replacing the touch keyboard is good for shorter text input, sometimes you just need a physical keyboard for large text entry. During CES, we write articles from the floor, and there is no substitute for the physical keyboard.

If you are an Apple user, the Kanex Multi-Sync Keyboard can fit that space. This full-size keyboard has the ability to connect to multiple devices through Bluetooth, with easy switching through the function keys.

Unfortunately, the keyboard uses the chicklet-style keys, which is not much better than typing on a screen. Hopefully we will see a future version of the keyboard using keys that are designed for real typing.
