Boox’s new page-turning e-reader remote is a tiny two-button keyboard

Source: The Verge

Overview

Boox has announced its own alternative to the Kobo Remote that offers more functionality than just turning the page while reading on its tablets and e‑readers. The Tappy can also be used to:

• Scroll vertical content in browsers or social media apps
• Skip to the next or previous track when listening to music or audiobooks

It connects to various devices over Bluetooth, not just Boox hardware.

Features

• Page turning for Boox tablets and e‑readers
• Vertical scrolling in browsers and social media apps
• Track control for music and audiobooks (next/previous)

Price & Availability

• Price: $25.99
• Where to buy: Boox’s online store and Amazon

The Tappy is slightly cheaper than Kobo’s remote and offers broader device compatibility.

Design

While Kobo’s remote resembles a game controller like the Wiimote, Tappy looks more like a retro typewriter that’s been distilled down to two buttons.
