It is dual mode: USB-C when you want it wired, or Bluetooth running off a 1000 mAh internal lithium cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the keycaps transparent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are smoked polycarbonate, so you can see the mechanical switch actuating underneath. It is decorative rather than functional, and it is the reason people photograph this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a boss key?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single key mapped to minimise or hide everything on screen at once.

The EM Mini Pad is a Bluetooth radio, so we want the FCC test report before shipping it in the United States; and its 1000 mAh lithium cell requires UN38.3 documentation and cannot travel on every air service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips in 1–2 days · delivers in 7–12, tracked.\u003c\/strong\u003e You get the tracking link the minute it exists.
