Industrial Metal Keypads and Matrix Key Pads
Small key count stainless pads for machines that need numeric or command entry without a full keyboard behind the fascia.
Metal keypads cover compact SUS304 brushed stainless units, typically 12, 16 or 20 keys, mounted into a panel or supplied as a desktop pad. Legends are silk screened or etched to customer content and can be changed later on some models, and interfaces include matrix, USB, PS/2 and RS232. Selected models use ABS key caps over mechanical switches where a different feel is wanted.
