KY-TB-A160 External Metal Trackpad

Product Overview

KY-TB-A160 is an external metal trackpad that replaces a conventional mouse on unattended terminals. Cursor movement is read from the touch surface and the two function keys use metal spring contacts to switch, so there are no soft rubber parts to tear or wear open. It suits integrators who need pointer input on a machine that is used by the public and cleaned often.

SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel resists corrosion and forced impact in public locations
Two metal spring contact function keys replace a mouse without adding a loose peripheral
Durability of more than 2 million operations supports terminals in continuous daily use
PS/2 or USB output drops into existing controller wiring without a driver change
Operation temperature of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C covers unheated indoor and sheltered outdoor cabinets
Bottom up mounting with a fixed bottom plate keeps the fixings behind the enclosure face

KY-TB-A160 external metal trackpad with SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel and 2 function keys

Application Scenarios

Self-service vending machines where a loose mouse cannot be used
Self-service information kiosks in lobbies and transport halls

Defence equipment contractors sourcing metal input devices

Problems It Solves

Plastic mice and rubber pads fail quickly under public use and cleaning chemicals
Separate pointing devices can be pulled off or stolen from an unattended machine
Sealed enclosures need a pointer that mounts through the panel rather than sitting on it
Mixed legacy and current controllers need one device that speaks PS/2 or USB

Quality Control

Cursor tracking and function key response checked on a live host before packing
Key travel and operation force sampled against the 0.45mm and 3N ± 10% figures
Durability sampling against the stated 2 million operation life
Panel finish inspected for brush direction, burrs and etching legibility

Customisation Options

Laser etched key characters in black to your artwork
Function key legends changed to match your terminal software
Cable length and exit direction set for your cabinet layout
PS/2 or USB selected at order

How It Compares

Plastic desktop mouse	The mouse sits loose on the terminal and can be removed, while KY-TB-A160 mounts from the bottom up into the panel.
Silicone membrane pointer pad	Membrane surfaces split and discolour with cleaning agents, whereas the SUS304 brushed panel is anti-corrosive and explosion-proof.
Trackball module	The touch surface has no rotating ball to collect grit, so the face stays flat and easy to wipe.

Use Guide

Cut the panel aperture and fix the bottom plate from the bottom up as specified
Connect to the host by PS/2 or USB and confirm the cursor moves before closing the cabinet
Keep supply within 5V ± 5% so the spring contacts switch reliably
Wipe the stainless face with a damp cloth rather than abrasive pads
Site the unit so ambient stays inside -20℃~60℃
