Microsoft has unveiled a new mobile keyboard that is made to work with all device and operating system types, including iPhones, iPads, and Android or Windows tablets and smartphones.

The Universal Mobile Keyboard, which will launch in October, features a slider that allows the device to switch between any operating system or device type. Whether it's your Lumia, Samsung Galaxy, or iPad, switching the keyboard to Windows, Android or iOS as appropriate will link the devices and allow you to type straight to the screen.
The keyboard folds for lighter and more efficient travel, as you can see demonstrated in the video below. It boasts a built-in stand, which can be detached for comfort depending on how you're using the device. The idea behind the product, of course, is that it serves as an alternative to typing on a smaller virtual keyboard, without requiring the size and heft of a laptop.
