London, 29 August, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Ambient Photonics and Chicony announced their plans to develop a revolutionary battery-free, wireless keyboard that is powered by Ambient’s breakthrough low-light solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. The low-profile keyboard will achieve a smaller carbon footprint by eliminating disposable batteries and using recycled materials while offering the full range of features that consumers demand: high-precision keys with a mechanical feel, quiet typing and a streamlined design.
“We chose Ambient Photonics as our keyboard power partner because we can seamlessly integrate their unique, high-density solar PV cells into our products. With Ambient, our team can build a truly elegant and sustainable keyboard without compromising on design, functionality or features,” commented Layro Chen, Vice President of R&D Division, Input Device BU of Chicony.
Ambient Photonics and Chicony have successfully developed functional keyboard prototypes and are working to enable customers to bring this new product to market in early 2024. The keyboard will be powered by Ambient’s cells, which generate endless power from the full spectrum of indoor light. The keyboard will also utilize a new type of scissor-style switch technology for an ultra-quiet, tactile and responsive typing experience.
“Together with Chicony, we are designing the world’s most sustainable keyboard,” commented Bates Marshall, CEO of Ambient Photonics. “Our goal is to create a fundamentally different class of PC accessory that is powered by the light that surrounds us – and not by disposable batteries that all too often become e-waste in our landfills.”
