KY-PC-LT Hot Swappable Stainless Steel Industrial Keyboard With Touchpad
KY-PC-LT is a hot swappable stainless steel industrial keyboard with an integrated touchpad mouse, built for self-service terminals that cannot be powered down for a keyboard change.
Product Overview
KY-PC-LT is a hot swappable stainless steel industrial keyboard with an integrated touchpad mouse, built for self-service terminals that cannot be powered down for a keyboard change. The 350*108 mm front panel fixes from bottom to top against the back panel, so service is done from inside the cabinet. It is rated for indoor and outdoor terminals and other extreme environments.
- Hot swappable construction lets a unit be exchanged without taking the terminal offline
- Integrated touchpad mouse removes a separate pointing device from the fascia
- Stainless steel keyboard with water and vandal proof design for outdoor terminals
- RoHS, IP65, FCC and CE approvals cover standard tender documentation
- Bottom to top back panel fixing keeps all hardware behind the fascia
- Operation force 2N±0.2N is consistent enough for confident gloved entry
Application Scenarios
- Indoor self-service terminals in transport and retail
- Outdoor self-service terminals in exposed locations

How It Compares
| Fixed switch metal keyboard | Hot swappable sockets let a failed switch or unit be changed without a full rebuild |
|---|---|
| KY-PC-HT | KY-PC-LT uses a 1.5mm key trip on a 350*108 mm panel, where KY-PC-HT uses Cherry switches at a 2.5mm trip on a 372*102 mm panel |
Use Guide
- Plan the aperture around the 360*118.5 mm overall size
- Fit from bottom to top with back panel fixing
- Operate within -10℃~55℃
- Keep the touchpad surface free of standing liquid despite IP65 sealing
