Matias has announced the availability of its new USB 2.0 Keyboard, which features a USB 2.0 dock for iPods and other devices. The keyboard, which was first unveiled in July, lets users sync their iPod via a convenient port on the the top of the product. The USB 2.0 Keyboard is available now for both PCs and Macs, in US, French, UK, and German layouts. It retails for $39.95, or $49.95 with a 2-button optical wheel mouse.
“Mac users have been plugging USB cables into their keyboards for years, but many newer devices require the higher speed of USB 2.0,” says Matias. “iPods, USB flash drives, and newer digital cameras can take forever to transfer files if you don’t have USB 2.0. Our new USB 2.0 Keyboard gives you transfer speeds up to 40 times faster than regular USB keyboards.”

“also, Mac users’ wrists all outside the US have suffered for years since Matias has proven unable to release international layouts of their praised tactilePro keyboard due to the waisting of ressources on boring iPod related merchandize”

Nice position for the dock in which a device, like the shuffle, can easily be knocked and snapped off if the user isn’t careful.
