You'll find that the Typo2's keys have slightly clickier feedback than the BlackBerry Classic's ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) keys, which have a refined, premium-feeling padded feedback. The typing experience is good, if not perfect. The micro USB port is found on the bottom left edge. The Typo2 uses its own battery that the company claims to last between seven and 14 days, and you charge it with the included micro USB cable.

Some Typo- and Apple-specific features include a Lock Key to prevent accidental key hits, adjustable backlighting, a battery level indicator, a quick-toggle currency key, and an iPhone Home button. Almost every function button in its rightful place, save for the reversed question mark and exclamation point locations, as well as the &, and underscore locations. The keys on either side have a slight slant, with numbers on the left side. The keyboard's look and layout will be familiar to Blackberry fans, as the Typo2 is almost identical to that of the BlackBerry Classic.

The bottom of the keyboard section's back is recessed to reveal the iPhone 6's Lightning port, the 3.5mm audio port, and speaker grille, which gives you access without the need for extension adapters like the Seidio Innocell Plus ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window)does.

Despite the keyboard, the Typo2 is surprisingly well-balanced and light at 1.6 ounces you'll barely feel any added weight to your iPhone 6. The majority of the case is 0.35 inches thick, with the keyboard section protruding half an inch. Measuring in at 6.25 by 2.75 inches (HW), it's a hair shorter than an iPhone 6 Plus's length, which means the Typo2 brings the iPhone 6 into phablet territory. The top section of the case itself is made of rubberized black plastic and looks fairly nondescript, save for the BlackBerry-style keyboard at the bottom. Most iPhone battery cases, like the uNu DX ($29.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), fit the same way. The Typo2 has top and bottom sections that slide over your iPhone 6 and click into each other at the middle. If that describes you, the Typo2 is a good solution, albeit with some caveats. More specifically, the Typo2 addresses the burning needs of former BlackBerry users who live and die by the physical buttons of a slab-style keyboard. Like the original Typo Keyboard for iPhone 5/5s, the $99 Typo2 for iPhone 6 is designed for those who simply can't part with a physical keyboard, despite the proliferation of touch-screen-only phones.

Company CEO Laurence Hallier said that their latest physical keyboard’s layout is modeled on the iPhone’s own software keyboard. Although the keyboard blocks the iPhone’s Touch ID feature, Hallier said that the “Typo’s core base would rather have the fingerprint sensor blocked and be able to more easily tap out messages”. According to Re/Code, the company says their new keyboard has been “designed to avoid incurring the legal challenges” that forced the company’s first product off the market.Ĭalled the Typo 2 keyboard for iPhone 6, the new product serves a similar purpose as its predecessor i.e to give the iPhone a physical keyboard, however it uses a different design this time around.
