Product Overview
KY-PC-HT is a panel mount metal mechanical keyboard with Cherry keyswitches and an integrated touchpad. Its 2.5mm key trip sits between the shallow 1.5mm panels and the deep 4mm industrial units, which suits operators alternating between typing and pointing. The stainless steel panel is water and vandal proof for indoor and outdoor self-service terminals.
- Cherry mechanical keyswitches give repeatable actuation on a panel mount unit
- 2.5mm key trip balances typing comfort with panel depth
- Integrated touchpad means no separate pointing device on the fascia
- Water and vandal proof stainless construction with RoHS, IP65, FCC and CE approvals
- 372*102 mm front panel fits a standard kiosk band
- Bottom to top back panel fixing keeps fasteners out of public reach

Application Scenarios
- Indoor self-service terminals in stations and lobbies
- Outdoor self-service terminals exposed to weather
- Industrial equipment in extreme environments
- Operator consoles with heavy text entry
- Machine control panels in workshops
Who It Is For
- Self-service terminal manufacturers
- Industrial equipment builders wanting mechanical feel in a panel format
- Kiosk integrators specifying sealed input
- Machine shop console designers
Problems It Solves
- Mushy panel keyboards on stations where operators type all day
- Loose mice on public and industrial consoles
- Weather and washdown ingress on outdoor terminals
- Front-accessible fixings that can be tampered with

How It Compares
| KY-PC-H | KY-PC-HT uses Cherry keyswitches at a 2.5mm trip and adds a touchpad, where KY-PC-H is a 4mm trip keyboard without a pointing device |
|---|---|
| KY-PC-HT-DESK style bench units | This panel mount version fixes from bottom to top behind the fascia rather than sitting on a bench |
Use Guide
- Cut the fascia for the 394*124 mm overall size
- Fit from bottom to top with back panel fixing
- Confirm a DC5V±5% supply at under 150mA
- Operate within -10℃~55℃
