Physical keyboards on mobile devices are generally boring and clunky, but what if Pelikon’s MorphPad is implemented in future phones, things might be interesting again for physical keyboards. When it’s fully lit, the MorphPad looks just like any other keyboard, but with some trickery in the backlighting, it can control what is displayed on the keypad, such as illuminating just the numeric keys when you want to make a phone call, or displaying a game controller pad when you’re playing a game. Pelikon is already partnered with companies such as Toshiba on various projects, so maybe we’ll be seeing the MorphPad in future phones? Check out the full article for a video on this.
