New lightweight Bluetooth remote with retro typewriter design
The Tappy remote weighs 29 grams and includes a lanyard for portability. It connects to compatible devices via Bluetooth. Unlike some competitors that use replaceable batteries, this device uses a rechargeable battery. It charges through a USB-C port located on the back of the unit.
The remote is compatible with the Boox Note Air5 C E Ink Android tablet. It also works with the Palma 2 Pro and other Boox devices running firmware version 4.2 or later. The device is available to buy now from the Boox Shop for 25.99 USD (about $25.99). Customers can also purchase it from the US warehouse for 29.99 USD (about $29.99).
This launch adds a dedicated physical control option to Boox's ecosystem. The pricing structure offers a lower cost for global orders compared to shipments from the United States. The inclusion of firmware requirements ensures that users have the necessary software support to utilize the remote's features effectively.
