Switches, Relays & Keypads
The new vandal-resistant metal keyboard and integrated trackball from EAO is very tough without sacrificing the smooth key action of a normal PC keyboard.
The integrated unit is built from brushed stainless-steel and Zamac (zinc alloy) and features non-flammable keys that cannot be pulled off. It offers high levels of shock and vibration resistance and a service life of at least 1,5 million actuations. It is protected to IP67 against the ingress of dust and waters, making is suitable for outdoor use.
The keys have a 1,5 mm travel and need only a gentle press to realistically simulate the touch-type action of a standard PC keyboard. They are finished in matt chrome and are laser engraved for high-definition black marking which will not easily corrode or wear off.
PS/2 and USB interface types are available, as well as a standard selection of 10 languages. The keyboards feature Internet dedicated shortcut keys like 'www', '.com' and '@'.
