hey guys Robbie with chromevox we wanted
0:10
to look at one other thing while we were
0:11
here and that is the bridge keyboard now
0:13
this thing leaked actually back before
0:14
Nocturne showed up but it is a Bluetooth
0:17
keyboard they make these for iPads and
0:20
surface devices and now also for
0:22
Chromebooks specifically for the pixel
0:25
slate aka Nocturne and so this differs
0:28
from what Google has on offer in that it
0:30
is a Bluetooth keyboard it's not using
0:32
the pogo pins it has some feet here that
0:35
hold the device in place and then it
0:36
just hooks up via bluetooth and so the
0:39
one kind of clunky thing is it's got a
0:41
pretty tight grip on the device so you
0:44
really have to work it out and it stays
0:45
connected until you hold the little
0:47
power button over here and then BAM
0:50
we've unconnected now we're in tablet
0:52
mode so it's not quite as cool as being
0:54
it'll just pop the pogo pins off and
0:56
jump into tablet mode but it's still
0:58
pretty nice and one of the benefits you
0:59
get with the abridge keyboard is once I
1:02
drop this thing in here I click one
1:04
button here boom we're paired right back
1:05
up the keys feel great the trackpad
1:10
feels really good and I'm not sure yet
1:14
we get some backlighting as well so and
1:16
it's all made of metal it closes up here
1:19
and so you get this nice aluminum
1:20
keyboard and this kind of clamshell
1:22
design rubber feet and it obviously
1:23
looks exactly like the top part of the
1:27
pixel slate and so it makes for a pretty
1:28
compelling package and to be honest with
1:30
you in some ways I like this solution a
1:33
little bit better just because it feels
1:34
a little more natural I'm not sure which
1:36
one would necessarily be better it's
1:38
cool that we've already got a
1:39
third-party component here and likely as
1:42
this thing rolls out to market will see
1:43
other third parties come in with poco
1:45
and Bluetooth Keyboard solutions for the
1:47
pixel slight forgot that's it for this
1:48
one if you liked it hit the thumbs up
