SMART PRESTIGIO CLICK&TOUCH 2 KEYBOARD RECEIVES THE PRESTIGIOUS RED DOT AWARD 2021

The TouchOnKeys™ technology on which the family of Prestigio keyboards is based is considered a breakthrough and should play a significant role in the design and production of innovative products of the future.

Prestigio Click&Touch 2 is the second generation of smart keyboards based on the TouchOnKeys™ technology. This product is a unique, intuitive keyboard based on the TouchOnKeys™ technology developed and patented by Clevetura. This technology combines the functions of a keyboard, touchpad and mouse, enabling automatic and smooth transition from text input mode to cursor control mode. The keyboard system is equipped with a "smart select" function and can "understand" the mode in which the end user is working by automatically switching to the keyboard or the touchpad function. Connect the keyboard to any device, including a tablet, smartphone, PC, smart TV, game console or interactive panel.

The feedback and suggestions of the first-generation keyboard users were taken into account when designing the Prestigio Click&Touch 2 keyboard. This has made it possible to create a conceptually new device that focuses on productive work with PCs, tablets, and all-in-one devices. One of the new additions is the physical buttons that make selection and dragging the necessary objects so much easier. The new product also has a higher capacity battery that ensures uninterrupted operation throughout the whole day. The touch response has become more precise, and the updated application has more settings, namely the user can now adjust the position of the touch zone: only left or right-hand side, or the entire surface. Prestigio has plans to expand different language layouts and colour options for Click&Touch 2. The new device was launched in March 2021.

Serhei Kostevitch, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors ASBISc Enterprises Plc, commented: “During this year, we have expanded the family of products based on the TouchOnKeys™ technology by adding a new device: even thinner, more autonomous, and more functional. We think that this technology is highly promising, and have plans to introduce it to other products. For example, we are actively working on a TouchOnKeysTM-based laptop, as well as on a series of keyboards. We are very pleased that the second generation of these innovative keyboards has also gained international recognition in the form of one of the most important design awards, the Red Dot Award.” 

Prestigio Click&Touch and Prestigio Click&Touch 2 keyboards were designed by the Belarusian start-up Clevetura LCC, 40% of which belongs to the ASBIS Group.
