Travel companion: LG's foldable keyboard is enabled via Bluetooth and connects automatically when rolled out.

LG has created a portable keyboard for tablets that rolls into a stick slim enough to fit in a purse or briefcase.

To be unveiled at the IFA 2015 show in Berlin in October, the Rolly Keyboard is designed as a slim, portable accompaniment to tablets by folding up along four rows.

Made of impact-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic, the high-contrast keys provide tactile feedback not found on flexible silicone keyboards.

The keyboard also features a built-in stand to support smartphones and can hold tablets upright, turning the whole of the ensemble into a makeshift desktop device.

The keyboard is enabled via Bluetooth and connects automatically when rolled out, with an auto pairing function that can connect to two different devices at the same time.

A single AAA battery can power the keyboard for up to three months.
