Vantex has introduced the V1, a mechanical keyboard incorporating a central touchpad that lets users control their computer without reaching for a separate mouse.

The keyboard measures 30.74 × 13.74 × 3.48 cm, weighs approximately 1.57 kg, and has a rearward incline of 7°.

This device packs 60 keys and four programmable layers into a CNC-machined aluminium body with a durable powder-coated finish, designed for office keyboard users.

Users can switch between typing and pointing without moving their hands far from the keyboard.
