Black Finish Industrial Metal Keyboards

Dark finish stainless steel keyboards for fascias where a bright steel panel would clash with the machine or reflect back at the operator.

Problems This Range Solves

  • A stainless fascia reflects overhead lighting straight into the operator's eye line.
  • Mixed finishes across a console make an integrated machine look assembled from spare parts.
  • Laser marking cannot deliver black characters on a black panel, so legends disappear.
  • Separate keyboard and mouse cut outs waste fascia area that the machine needs elsewhere.

Who Specifies It

  • Console designers matching input devices to a dark equipment livery.
  • Self service terminal makers specifying a low glare operator surface.
  • Integrators who need keyboard and pointing device in a single assembly.
  • OEM buyers replacing a black fascia keyboard on an installed fleet.

Where It Is Installed

  • A 66 key black panel mount unit embedded in a financial terminal.
  • A 103 key black backlit keyboard for a dimly lit control station.
  • A 293*87 mm front panel keyboard with integrated trackball for a narrow console.
  • A 392*110 mm front panel trackball keyboard on a wider operator desk.
  • A 330*100 mm keyboard with touchpad replacing a separate mouse tray.

What You Get From This Range

  • Black surface treatment over anti riot and anti corrosion 304 stainless steel keys.
  • 3mm aluminium alloy back panel behind the fascia.
  • Trackball and touchpad variants share the keyboard body.
  • Etching covers all legend colours where laser marking is limited to black characters.
  • Layout customisation is offered at no charge.
  • Backlit black variants use hollowed transparent keys for weak lighting.

What To Specify When You Order

Give us these and the quotation comes back complete rather than with questions attached.

  1. Decide legend colour first, since black characters allow laser marking and other colours need etching.
  2. Pick the pointing device: none, trackball or touchpad.
  3. Match front panel and overall dimensions to your existing cut out.
  4. Confirm whether the unit mounts from the front or the rear.
  5. State the key count your application needs before layout work starts.
