Product Overview
KY-PC-S1 is a panel mounted keyboard in brushed 304 stainless steel with keys shaped to follow the human finger. A 3mm aluminium alloy base plate carries the key matrix, giving a 1.8Kg net weight assembly that does not flex when struck. Key trip is 1.75mm with a contact force of 3N+/-0.3N, and the unit runs over USB or PS/2.
- Keys shaped to the finger reduce mis-hits during long shifts at a fixed station
- A 3mm aluminium alloy base plate stops the key field flexing under heavy use
- 1.75mm key trip balances positive feedback against typing speed
- Brushed 304 stainless steel resists riot damage and corrosion
- USB and PS/2 output keeps older control PCs in service
Application Scenarios
- Panel mounted operator stations on production lines
- Control rooms running Linux or Ubuntu software
- Fixed workstations requiring a non removable keyboard
- Industrial cabinets where a desktop keyboard would be damaged
- Legacy control PCs still using PS/2 input
Who It Is For
- Machine builders fitting keyboards into control panels
- Industrial automation integrators
- Facilities replacing consumer keyboards on plant floors
Problems It Solves
- Flat metal keys cause finger fatigue and typing errors over a full shift
- Thin backing plates deform when a keyboard is hit
- Desktop keyboards get contaminated and removed from industrial areas
- New keyboards often drop PS/2 that legacy controllers still need

How It Compares
| Flat faced metal keyboards | Keys follow the shape of the finger, which reduces slips during long entry sessions |
|---|---|
| Thin backed metal keyboards | A 3mm aluminium alloy base plate keeps the key field rigid |
| Short travel keypads | 1.75mm key trip gives clearer confirmation than a shallow click |
Use Guide
- Support the panel for the 1.8Kg net weight before fixing
- Use panel mounting and check the cutout matches the base plate
- Confirm 5V±5% supply and under 100mA draw at the host
- Select USB or PS/2 at order time
- Operate within -10℃~45℃ and store no colder than -30℃
