Product Overview
KY-PC-H is an embedded metal keyboard carrying 65 keys plus a mechanical trackball in one SUS304 panel. It is built for communication equipment, military equipment and self service terminals where an operator needs full text entry and cursor control from a single fixed panel. The 4mm key trip gives a deliberate tactile stroke that can be felt through gloves.
- A mechanical trackball replaces a loose mouse that would be stolen or damaged on an unattended cabinet
- SUS304 stainless steel construction resists riot damage and corrosion in outdoor and coastal installs
- 4mm key trip and 2N operation force give clear feedback for gloved and rushed operators
- USB or PS/2 output lets the same unit serve new builds and legacy controllers
- Broad system support covering Windows XP through Windows 10 plus Linux, Ubuntu and Android
Application Scenarios
- Communication equipment racks and shelter cabinets
- Military vehicle and field equipment consoles
- Self service terminals in public buildings
- Fixed operator stations that must not accept a removable mouse
- Control cabinets running Linux or Ubuntu based software
Who It Is For
- Defence and communications equipment integrators
- Self service terminal manufacturers
- Industrial control cabinet builders replacing desktop keyboards
Problems It Solves
- Desktop keyboards and mice get removed or broken on shared and public equipment
- Legacy systems still need PS/2 while new builds require USB
- Shallow travel keypads give no confirmation to operators wearing gloves
- Painted mild steel panels corrode in humid and salt laden air

How It Compares
| Keyboard with optical touchpad | The mechanical trackball keeps working when operators wear gloves or have wet fingers |
|---|---|
| USB only metal keyboard | KY-PC-H offers USB and PS/2 so older communication controllers stay usable |
| Short travel metal keypad | 4mm key trip gives a positive stroke rather than a flat click |
Use Guide
- Mount from the back of the panel using the supplied fixing points
- Allow for the 1.55Kg wet weight when sizing the panel support
- Select USB or PS/2 at order time to match the host controller
- Keep operation within -10℃~45℃ and store no colder than -30℃
- Clean the trackball seat periodically to keep cursor movement smooth
