Mobee Debuts Magic Feet & Power Bar, Magical Wireless Charging Orgy


CES 2012 is fast approaching and companies are eager to show us what they've got in store. Mobee has announced its latest Mac peripheral accessories today including the Magic Feet and Power Bar. Both of which are means of conveniently keeping your Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad all charged up without wasting batteries and time. The Magic Feet is Mobee's Magic Bar and Magic Charger all fit into one big inductive charging station made out of white plastic and aluminum that can wirelessly recharge your Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse at once, or both the Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse using inductive rechargeable cylinder battery and a rechargeable battery pack.

The Magic Feet can charge up to three devices simultaneously, but you're out of luck if you want to charge both Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad at the same time. It takes 6 hours to fully charge a device which will then last for 10 days on a single charge. The Magic Feet will start shipping early March for $149.90.

Mobee's second charging accessory is a lot more affordable and called the Power Bar. Instead of going with wireless induction charging, the Power Bar replaces the Magic Trackpad's double AA batteries with its own screw-in, rechargeable battery cylinder that can be recharged using a micro-USB cable taking up virtually no space unlike its siblings. The Power Bar is also expected to be available in early March for $29.90. Both are now available to pre-order.

The Magic Numpad Turns Your Magic Trackpad Into A Multi-Touch Numpad

Mobee likes to call all of their products magical, and that's perfectly fine when everyone single one of them is pretty much magical. Mobee has recently released the Magic Numbpad that turns your Magic Trackpad into an even more magical and customizeable glass surface. Mobee's Magic Trackpad are actually just simple transparent films that lay on top of your Magic Trackpad and add 3 different types of numpad layouts and are made to be bubble-free and reusable. Mobee has also created an OS X Lion and Snow Leopard compatible software downloadable via a code included in the packaging that brings all of this magical numpad goodness together. You'll still be able to use your Magic Trackpad as a trackpad with the Magic Numbpad film installed.

The Magic Numpad is available to pre-order for $29.90 - €29.90, and will be released in October.

Organizing Your Wireless Keyboard & Magic Trackpad

aTrackt is the slimmest organizer made for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad and it works simply like a guide rail to neatly organize the two peripherals side by side. Right and left handed users can take advantage of the aTrackt by reversing its orientation. The aTrackt is made from aluminum to match Apple's wireless peripherals and will retail for $49.95, a little to high of a price if you ask me.
