Google Brydge C-Type Wireless Keyboard for Chrome OS with Assistant Key

The Brydge C-Type is a keyboard built for one specific purpose: to be a proper desktop companion for your Chrome OS device. If you use a Chromebook, Chromebox, or Chrome OS tablet and find yourself typing a lot, this keyboard makes sense. It has the full layout you expect, plus dedicated keys for Chrome OS functions like opening the launcher, adjusting brightness, and a physical home button. The standout feature is the dedicated Google Assistant key, which is a nice touch for quick voice commands. It connects either wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.1 or through a wired USB-C connection. The aluminum top plate gives it a solid feel, though the key switches are fairly standard membrane type. The main limitation is its exclusivity; it won't work with Windows, Mac, or Android devices in a meaningful way because the special keys are mapped for Chrome OS. At this sale price, it's a very compelling accessory. You're getting a well-built, purpose-driven keyboard for less than the cost of many generic models. If your workflow lives entirely in Chrome OS, this is a straightforward upgrade from a laptop keyboard or a generic Bluetooth model.
