Product Overview
KY-FS38 is an IP68 rated optical trackball built on a SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel with a 38mm resin ball. Cursor positioning uses a silica gel carbon point conductive mode with three function keys so operators can point and click without a loose mouse. It is specified into kiosks express lockers and industrial control equipment that cannot expose a moving mechanical assembly.
- IP68 sealing for wet and dusty unattended installations
- 38mm resin ball gives usable travel without a desk surface
- SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel and keys resist riot damage and corrosion
- Laser etched black characters on the keys stay legible under heavy use
- Working current under 100mA leaves headroom on USB powered terminals
- Net weight 0.25Kg keeps panel loading low on thin fascias
Application Scenarios
- Self service vending machines
- Self service information kiosks
- Intelligent storage express cabinets
- Medical equipment consoles
- Industrial control equipment stations
- Military equipment operator panels
Who It Is For
- Kiosk and vending machine OEMs
- Express locker cabinet manufacturers
- Industrial control panel builders
- Defence and medical equipment integrators
Problems It Solves
- Loose mice are stolen or damaged at public terminals
- Optical mice need a clean flat surface that kiosks do not have
- Water and dust enter conventional pointing devices
- Printed key symbols fade on outdoor terminals
Technical Features
- Optical sensing with silica gel carbon point conductive key mode
- 38mm resin ball with 2 buttons plus 3 function keys
- U shape button size 13mm*13mm with 1.5mm key trip
- Operation force 2N plus or minus 10 percent
- Durability above 2 Million operations
- Operating temperature -10 to 50 degrees C and storage -30 to 85 degrees C
- Rear mounting with USB interface

How It Compares
| Optical desk mouse | A panel mounted 38mm ball needs no desk surface and cannot be removed from the terminal |
|---|---|
| Mechanical trackballs | Optical sensing avoids roller contamination in dusty cabinets |
| IP65 pointing devices | IP68 sealing suits wetter installations than an IP65 rated unit |
