Industrial Metal Keyboard With Trackball KY-PC-VG160
KY-PC-VG160 is an embedded industrial keyboard and mouse with 21 buttons, including three mouse buttons, plus a 38mm photoelectric trackball.
Product Overview
KY-PC-VG160 is an embedded industrial keyboard and mouse with 21 buttons, including three mouse buttons, plus a 38mm photoelectric trackball. Silicone convex key technology with 1.5mm travel gives a comfortable press for quick, precise input. The 304 stainless steel body carries an IP65 IK09 front rating and keys rated to more than 5 million operations.
- Durability >5 million times exceeds the 2 million rating of standard metal keypads
- IP65 IK09 front water resistance grade covers both ingress and impact exposure
- 38mm photoelectric trackball with a silver reinforced industrial resin ball replaces a desk mouse
- Silicone convex key technology with 1.5mm long key travel gives comfortable precise input
- 3mm thick sandblasted and oxidized aluminium alloy base plate keeps the panel rigid
- Design service life >5 year for installations that are costly to revisit
Application Scenarios
- Shopping mall self-service terminals
- Bank branch equipment
- Hotel front of house terminals
- Hospital equipment stations
- Oil fields and coal mines
- Financial, communication and military equipment
Who It Is For
- Bank and financial equipment manufacturers
- Hotel and retail terminal suppliers
- Oil field and coal mine equipment integrators
- Hospital equipment builders
Problems It Solves
- Standard keypads wear out early on busy terminals, met by >5 million times durability
- Impact damage is not covered by a waterproof rating alone, so the panel is IK09 as well as IP65
- A separate mouse cannot be secured in public areas, so a 38mm photoelectric trackball is built in
- Hard metal keys tire operators, eased by silicone convex keys with 1.5mm travel
Technical Features
- 21 buttons including 3 for the left, middle and right mouse buttons
- 38mm photoelectric trackball with silver reinforced industrial resin ball
- Power supply 5V±5% with working current <100mA
- Key size 14mm*14mm*4.5/14*28*4.5mm with 1.5mm key trip and 1.5N ± 10% operation force
- Industrial-grade gold-plated PCB key board
- Four countersunk holes for embedded installation from top to bottom
- Average mean time between failures >20000 hour

How It Compares
| Keypads rated 2 million presses | Durability of >5 million times and a design service life of >5 year suit high traffic public terminals |
|---|---|
| IP65 only panels | The IK09 rating adds impact resistance alongside the IP65 water and dust rating |
| Metal dome keyboards | Silicone convex key technology with 1.5mm long key travel gives a softer, more comfortable press |
Use Guide
- Use the four countersunk holes to fit the panel from top to bottom
- Supply 5V±5% and allow for the <100mA working current
- Order the PS/2 variant if the terminal has no USB host
- Operate within -20℃~45℃ and store within -30℃~85℃
