Apple patents a MacBook touchpad

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

As usual, Apple presents ideas and those ideas try signing patents. Then time will tell which of these patents eventually become reality and what not. The patent in question is focused directly to the MacBook keyboard. 

A keyboard with mini-screens on the keys, capable of capturing touch gestures with a small engine and causing a vibration every time you press a key. Now imagine the possibilities we can offer a keyboard with these features, which could lead to each application is assigned a different keyboard. The initial concept of the touch keyboard on the iPhone led our Macs.

We are not talking about a new concept, in fact there is already a similar keyboard on the market called Optimus Maximus Keyboard and costs of $ 1,600. But the Apple patent would cost less, and may even be included in one these MacBooks with lower price than $ 1,600.

The possibility of representing a different keyboard whichever is the open application, able to jump between applications by simply performing, Scroll touch gestures or make sliding your fingers on the arrow keys ... The possibilities are many, only time will tell if it comes into production and see a future generation of MacBooks with this keyboard or stay in the trunk of memories of Apple's patents.
