KY-TB-38-DESK Stainless Steel Trackball Mouse

KY-TB-38-DESK is a patented stainless steel trackball pointing device in a 100*150*33 mm housing that can be used on a desktop or panel mounted.

Product Overview

KY-TB-38-DESK is a patented stainless steel trackball pointing device in a 100*150*33 mm housing that can be used on a desktop or panel mounted. The 304 stainless front panel and ball resist grit and liquid while the aluminium back panel keeps the unit rigid under rough handling. It is specified where a conventional mouse would be stolen, dropped or clogged.
  • Resolution above 10000dpi for precise cursor work on large control screens
  • Operation force under 2N so the buttons stay light through long shifts
  • 304 stainless steel panel, ball and keys resist dirt, dust and liquid
  • Mounting kit and desktop kit are both optional, so one part serves two installs
  • EN55022(B) emission data supports use near sensitive instrumentation
  • Rated for 2 Million actuations on the keys

How It Compares

KY-TB-25-DESKThe larger 100*150 mm panel carries a bigger ball area for coarse fast movement
Plastic optical mouseThe stainless body stays in place and keeps working where a loose mouse is lost or broken
Metal touchpadThe trackball stays usable with wet or gloved hands that defeat a touch surface

Use Guide

  1. Decide between desktop kit and mounting kit before ordering
  2. Allow 33 mm of depth behind the 100*150 mm panel
  3. Connect to USB or PS/2 and supply 5.0VDC+_5%
  4. Wipe the ball seat regularly where airborne dust is heavy
  5. Keep storage conditions within -30℃~85℃
