iKey DT-5K-MEM-TP Desktop Rugged Keyboard With Touchpad
The iKey DT-5K-MEM-TP is an industrial membrane keyboard built to withstand the harshest of environments. Modelled after iKey’s popular 5K product line, this keyboard is manufactured with a hard coated, textured polyester film and trampoline-mounted, snap-dome switches that provide a superior feel and actuation over a standard membrane keyboard.
The integrated Synaptic touchpad is completely sealed under an extra layer of PVC membrane, which extends the life of the product. Since this keyboard lacks the crevices found between the keys of a regular keyboard, it is extremely durable and easy to clean.
The DT-5K-MEM-TP is designed to meet NEMA 4X specifications, which means it can withstand directed hose water, disinfectants, environmental contaminants and heavy industrial use.
