They can also be wired to all existing environments: Windows, Linux and Mac (OS9, OSX).
Built from stainless steel and zinc alloy, EAO's mechanical keyboard has a high resistance to vandalism.
It features anti-pull-off keys, which are laser engraved for high-definition and wear-resistant markings.
It is sealed against liquid penetration using a unique one-piece membrane that extends to the edges of the keyboard.
This keyboard is available as standard in the layout of ten different languages.
A customer-specific layout is available on request for other applications like industrial control panels and ticket issuing machines.
EAO offers a choice of mouse modules - touch pad and trackball.
The touch pad is built from stainless steel and composite materials, the trackball from stainless steel and zamak.
As well as the keyboards, they are designed to resist fluids, cleaning agents and vandalism, making them ideal for use in public places, like internet kiosks, or as part of an industrial control panel in a factory environment.
Totally adaptable, EAO's 74-key touch-sensitive keyboards can be configured out-of-the-box using EAO's innovative Studio Creative Box software (included).
Customers can take control and create dedicated shortcut keys like www.
or.com, design the keyboard layout and colour - even alter the keyboard shape - so it matches the precise needs of their product.
A big advantage is that the keyboard works without switching contacts, switching membranes or any other moving parts.
This keyboard will resist even the most abrasive public or factory environment once sealed under a glass cover up to 10mm thick.
This keyboard can also be fitted with a specially designed touch pad mouse module that will work behind a glass or polycarbonate front panel. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
