Robust and durable industrial keyboards
Engineered for industrial environments, our silicone keypads are built to withstand harsh conditions, offering IP65 and IP68 protection ratings.
The silicone surface features a special PU coating, enhancing the keyboard’s durability and resistance to solvents, chemicals, and environmental factors. The front panel, which forms the keyboard surface alongside the silicone keys, is covered with a protective film that provides additional abrasion resistance, ensuring that the entire keypad can endure over 1 million switching cycles-even in challenging conditions. Laser-marked symbols ensure that key labels remain clear and legible, even after years of heavy use.
Our silicone keyboards are also available with integrated mouse functions, such as a touchpad or trackball. The flexible silicone design allows for both horizontal and vertical installations.
