Rugged Industrial keyboards that will not wear out, rated at 30,000,000 touches per year. EKI's industrial keyboard detects your finger optically so there are no moving parts, and no domes to crack... these are not membrane or mechanical switch keyboards, you can stick a knife in the touch surface and not affect the life or operation. Keyboard can have permanent, semi-permanent key text overlays. Industrial keyboard that can I/O dual ascii (rs-232 or rs-422), USB or PS2 codes and sequences of codes. They are sealed so they can be easily washed off.

With our industrial keyboards that use PS2 output, there is no other connections required.

And because they're optical we can make them to fit your application. You can have only the keys you want, your name, your colors, your organization's name, your department, and text (a function name). And Hot Keys, one key can input a URL, ctrl-C, etc., so if you're using a program that you press a sequence of keys on a regular basis, those sequences can be programmed into one key with the function name put on the key position.

Since there are no moving parts they will never wear out.

We also make them in any language. You send us the keys you want and we'll send you a keyboard.
