The STM Goods Dux Keyboard Trackpad USB-C for iPad (A16) and 10th Gen is a folio-style keyboard case built for professionals who need a true laptop feel without leaving Apple Pencil support or drop protection behind. Designed with a German QWERTZ layout and dedicated umlaut keys (ä, ö, ü, ß), this case lets you type naturally in German while keeping your iPad fully connected via USB-C.
STM Dux Keyboard Trackpad: German QWERTZ Meets iPad Productivity
The Dux series is STM's flagship for iPad keyboard cases, and this model brings a full trackpad to the 10th Gen iPad (and the new A16 model). The precision trackpad supports multi-touch gestures, so you can navigate iPadOS, switch apps, and use the cursor with the same fluidity as a MacBook. The keyboard is backlit, with adjustable brightness, and the keys feature a comfortable scissor mechanism.
Built to Protect: Rugged Folio with Apple Pencil Storage
STM knows iPads are investments. The Dux case meets military-grade drop standards (MIL-STD-810G) and adds a protective lid, reinforced corners, and a raised bezel. A dedicated slot securely stores your Apple Pencil 1, Apple Pencil USB-C, or Logitech Crayon, so it's always within reach. The folio converts into multiple viewing angles, perfect for typing, presenting, or watching media.
USB-C Connectivity and Compatibility
Connectivity is straightforward: the keyboard and trackpad pair with your iPad via Bluetooth, but you can also use the USB-C port on the case for charging. This Dux model supports iPad (A16) and iPad 10th Gen, covering model numbers A3356, A3355, A3354, A2777, A2757, and A2696. It's the ideal accessory for the German-speaking market, ensuring every umlaut is precisely mapped.
Who Should Buy the STM Dux Keyboard Trackpad?
If you're a student, professional, or creator who uses an iPad as your primary device and types in German on a daily basis, this case transforms your iPad into a full-fledged laptop alternative. It's also a smart upgrade for educators and IT departments deploying iPads in classroom or office environments.
