How It Compares
| KY-PC-NT3 with touchpad | KY-PC-I uses a 38mm metal trackball rather than a 60x44mm touchpad, which suits gloved operators. |
|---|---|
| Rear mounted keyboards | KY-PC-I is front mounted, so it can go into enclosures with no rear access. |
| Keyboards without a pointer | The trackball is part of the same sealed 400*124 mm panel. |
Use Guide

- Connect USB or PS/2 and test the trackball and all keys
- Keep the gasket seated to maintain the IP65 rating
- Operate within -20℃~55℃
- Clean around the 38mm ball with a damp cloth regularly
