The iPad has changed the way we access the Internet, but the built-in screen keyboard can be less than satisfying to use.

Typo, the company co-founded by Ryan Seacrest that makes a physical keyboard for the iPhone, is now trying to solve the problem for the iPad, too. It has developed a Bluetooth keyboard that it claims is the world's thinnest for the tablet.

One version of the sleek keyboard works with the iPad Air and Air 2, while another is compatible with all models of the iPad mini. The keyboard comes in at a svelte 5.5 mm thick, but it maintains full key size for more accurate typing.

The keyboard also comes equipped with a sturdy hinge stand that can operate at just about any angle without toppling the tablet.

The Typo keyboard does have its own battery and will need to be charged, but it will likely last you multiple battery cycles on your iPad.

The company expects the keyboard to launch in March of 2015 with a retail price of $179.
