Fitright Industrial, a player in the wearable electronic field, has announced the ‘China Coin’, an illuminated keypad for the integration into clothing or bags. The China Coin keypad is based on soft Polymer material, is 100% washable, has good tactile feeling and comes in many different colors for the keypad material as well as for the illumination color of the keypad.

The module works seamlessly with the iPod or other mp3 players. It can send up to 12 different commands to the iPod, which is better than the standard 5 or 6 you see on other external controlling units (on/off, volume up/down, prev/next song). When the keypad is touched, it lights up and stays lit as long as the iPod is on. The power for the keypad light comes from the iPod (no need for additional batteries) which will cost less than 5% of the iPod’s battery capacity, a small price for the sparkle and convenience to navigate your iPod.
