KY-PC-F2 is a full stainless steel keyboard with a 38mm trackball built into the same sealed plate, giving unattended terminals a pointing device that cannot be unplugged or walked away with.
Product Overview
KY-PC-F2 is a full stainless steel keyboard with a 38mm trackball built into the same sealed plate, giving unattended terminals a pointing device that cannot be unplugged or walked away with. The front panel is 392*135 mm and the overall body 416*159 mm. It suits kiosk, medical and industrial cabinets where an office keyboard would not survive a season.
- 38mm trackball integrated in the metal plate, so no external mouse is exposed to theft or damage
- Water and vandal proof construction with RoHS, IP65, FCC and CE approvals
- 392*135 mm front panel fits narrower cabinets than a keyboard plus separate pointer tray
- Key trip of 2mm and operation force of 280g±20g give clear tactile confirmation for gloved users
- Language layout customized for free, so one part number serves several export markets
- Rear mounting or front mounting supported from the same body

How It Compares
| KY-PC-F3T with touchpad | KY-PC-F2 uses a 38mm trackball, which stays usable with wet or gloved fingers where a touchpad surface can be harder to drive. |
|---|---|
| Sealed external industrial mouse | The trackball is part of the 392*135 mm panel, so there is no second cable, no second seal and nothing loose on the counter. |
| KY-PC-B kiosk keyboard with trackball | KY-PC-F2 has a taller 135 mm panel and a 2mm key trip, while KY-PC-B uses a 110 mm panel with a 0.45mm key trip. |
Use Guide
- Size the cut-out to the 392*135 mm front panel and allow for the 416*159 mm overall body
- Leave finger clearance around the 38mm trackball in the bezel design
- Power from a DC5V±5% source able to supply under 150mA
- Select USB or PS/2 before order as the harness differs
- Wipe the stainless face clean; the water and vandal proof design tolerates it
