Once activated, the tixels inflate and become squishy that offer tactile keyboard-like feedback.
TORONTO, Canada - Today, Matias released version 4 of its award-winning Tactile Pro Keyboard for Mac, and expanded the line with a compact model: the Mini Tactile Pro.
That's good news, we suppose, for folks who prefer the tactile feel of the Type keyboard.
There's no mistaking the keys for those on a mushy membrane keyboard, but they aren't quite as firm or crisp-feeling as those a traditional mechanical keyboard like the Tactile Pro either.

That's where Matias's wireless Laptop Pro keyboard for Mac comes in. (The company makes a wired version for PC, too.) Its switch technology confers the tactile response of a traditional mechanical keyboard, but sounds no louder than the office standard issue.
It refuses to react, no matter how hard one pushes, making us long for the simplicity of the virtual keyboard, which, while not offering any tactile feedback, actually, you know, does something.
The Tactile Pro 4 closely matches the layout of a standard Mac keyboard - complete with an Fn key and special function keys that work just like those on an actual Apple keyboard.
Today, they released the Quiet Pro Keyboard, an ultra-quiet version of their award-winning Tactile Pro.

Matias has kept the overall design the same as the Tactile Pro in both cases, though: a look similar to Apple's old Pro keyboard with no frills beyond three USB 2.0 ports, only the basics in terms of extra keys, two legs underneath to prop it up and a 6-foot-long USB cable (no wireless option here).

Both the Tactile Pro and Mini Tactile Pro are equipped with premium ALPS mechanical keyswitches, similar to those used in the legendary Apple Extended Keyboard - widely viewed as the best keyboard Apple ever made.
