KY-PC-B Kiosk Keyboard With Trackball and Gold Plated Shrapnel
KY-PC-B is a slim kiosk keyboard with an integrated 38mm trackball on a 392*110 mm front panel, 25 mm shorter than the standard metal keyboard plate.
Product Overview
KY-PC-B is a slim kiosk keyboard with an integrated 38mm trackball on a 392*110 mm front panel, 25 mm shorter than the standard metal keyboard plate. It uses gold-plated shrapnel contacts with a short 0.45mm key trip and a 1.2N+/-0.1N operation force, giving a crisp low-travel action in shallow kiosk fascias. Overall size is 416*134 mm.
- 392*110 mm front panel fits shallow kiosk fascias that cannot take a 135 mm plate
- Gold-Plated Shrapne contacts for consistent switching over ≥2million operations
- 0.45mm key trip keeps the panel thin while still giving a defined click
- 38mm trackball built into the same sealed metal plate
- Water and vandal proof design with RoHS, IP65, FCC and CE approvals
- Language layout customized for free with laser or etching legends
Application Scenarios
- Kiosk solution fascias with limited vertical space
- Medical equipment panels needing low-profile input
- Industrial facilities terminals in thin cabinet doors
- Prison and secure terminals requiring a tamper-resistant plate
- Food service self-order points
- Oil field outdoor terminals within -20℃~55℃
Who It Is For
- Kiosk manufacturers with shallow front plate designs
- Self-service terminal integrators specifying low-travel keys
- Cabinet designers replacing an existing 110 mm high input panel
- Distributors quoting slim metal keyboards with pointer
Problems It Solves
- Standard metal keyboards too tall for a 110 mm fascia opening
- Contact wear in high-cycle public keyboards, addressed with gold plated shrapnel
- Loose mice on kiosk counters that get taken or damaged
- Language-specific tooling costs for multi-market rollouts
- Liquid and impact damage on unattended terminals

How It Compares
| KY-PC-A waterproof kiosk keyboard | Both use a 392*110 mm panel, but KY-PC-B has a 0.45mm key trip at 1.2N+/-0.1N while KY-PC-A uses a 2mm trip at 280g±20g. |
|---|---|
| KY-PC-F2 full metal keyboard | KY-PC-B is 25 mm shorter at 110 mm panel height, for fascias that cannot take the 135 mm plate. |
| Standard dome contact keyboards | Gold plated shrapnel contacts are used here to keep switching consistent across the ≥2million cycle rating. |
Use Guide
- Match the cut-out to the 392*110 mm front panel and allow for the 416*134 mm body
- Expect a short 0.45mm travel; brief operators used to deeper keyboards
- Power the panel at DC5V±5% with under 150mA available
- Choose rear or front mounting at order stage
- Keep operation inside -20℃~55℃ and storage inside -30℃~85℃
