ZAGG has announced a new ultra-thin bluetooth keyboard for the iPad that features optional backlighting.

The ZAGGkeys PRO and PRO Plus are ultra-thin Bluetooth keyboard accessories that accentuate the utility and convenience of the Apple iPad. Different from the original ZAGGkeys accessory, the ZAGGkeys PRO and PRO Plus utilize an innovative magnetic closure to secure the iPad, and protect the screen from scratches and smudges. The patented keyboard design of both new products provides a natural typing experience in a compact layout, with dedicated function keys to operate specific iPad features. In addition, the ZAGGkeys PRO Plus features optional backlighting for full keyboard use without the need for another light.

The ZAGGkeys PRO and ZAGGkeys PRO Plus will be available for purchase from ZAGG.com and select retailers at the end of September. Expected retail for the ZAGGkeys PRO is $99, $129 for the ZAGGkeys PRO Plus.
