3.9 Pseudo N-Key Rollover Capability
‘N’ key roller is the numbers of keys that may be held depressed simultaneously
and have the keyboard generate the appropriate code for each pressed and
released key without keyboard interruption. The keyboard is capable of at least a
pseudo 6-key rollover. All combinations of Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys are not ghost
keys.
3.10 Free From Illegal Ghost key
Key matrix layout has been properly managed such that no ghost key occurs for
any 3-key combination. The ghost key is defined as 3-key combination where a
valid third key falls in the ‘#’ pattern in the key matrix, formed by the proceeding
valid 2-key combination. Normally in this case, the third key will be masked
without sending any code because the third key and fourth key in this ‘#’ pattern
are confusing the microprocessor of three keyboard.
3.11 Compatibility
Operation System: iOS 8
Bluetooth 3.0 LE specification compliant.
Bluetooth HID profile V 1.1 compliant
VID/PID in firmware is 0a5c/8502
3.12 Battery Specification
3.14.1 Charging Specification
Charging current: 180mA
3.14.2 Battery Capacity
A fully charged battery is discharged using an analyzer to get its capacity. The
charging and discharging is done 3 times. The average measured capacity
should be at least 80% of original capacity.
3.14.3 Short time charging of Battery
The 30 minutes short time charging using the USB connected to a standard 110V
outlet should provide a battery life of at least 20% of the rated capacity.
3.14.4 Charging Profile of Battery
The charging profile of the battery charged by a particular method using wired
charger/laptop/wireless charger should be good. It includes the time taken to fully
charge the battery, average charging rate, and the charge capacity after being
charged for 10 hours. The charged percentage of the measured cycled capacity
should be at least 80%.
3.14.5 Standby and Active time of Battery
Standby time should be a minimum of 1000 days. Active time should be a
minimum of 730 days, 1 hour per day average.

3.14.6 Under Voltage and Over Voltage Protection in Battery
During high or low voltage condition applied to the battery accessory, the
protection circuitry should be triggered. The voltage cutoff level should prevent
damage to the accessory. This is to ensure the circuit will protect the user in the
event that the battery is exposed to a high/low voltage from misuse or an
incorrect charger being used.
3.15 Keyboard Module
Key matrix traces with switch contact fingers are laid out and routed on a 3 layers
membrane sheet and scissor keycap as a key module. The contact resistance is
less than 1000 ohm.
3.16 Key Functional Test
Refer to Key Layout and to use Bluetooth test program & fixture.
3.17 Bluetooth RF Power & Frequency Test
RF Power Range: -35dBm ~ -5 dBm
Frequency tolerance: +/- 75 KHz
Low Frequency: 2402 MHz
Middle Frequency: 2441 MHz
High Frequency: 2448 MHz
3.17.1 HID-Master / Slaves Roles
The Limitless Keyboard must be connected as slave to Bluetooth Master(s).
3.17.2 HID Discovery
The Limitless Keyboard must be available in discovery mode in order to connect
to any host.
3.17.3 HID-Connectivity
The Limitless Keyboard must get connected automatically to Host after once it is
discovered by the Host. Limitless keyboard has one to one pairing at each BT
channel. Once connected, the Limitless Keyboard should not be discoverable by
any other BT devices. With 3 channels of connectivity, the host will only be able
to discover the keyboard when the specific channel previously paired to that host
is selected.
3.17.4 Disconnection / Reconnection
The Limitless Keyboard should be able to disconnect from Host and should not
initiate re-connection on its own but only make itself available for connection to
the host by selecting the specific BT channel.
3.17.5 Bluetooth Keyboard – Out of Range / Idle
Out of Range/Link Loss –When Limitless Keyboard goes out of range the host
should terminate the connection. Once the Limitless Keyboard is back in the
range the host should be connected with keyboard automatically if the BT
