Matrix Touch optical COMPUTER KEYBOARD, model 83PKB 83 key

• Unlimited key touches - Over 30 million touches per year, that's as fast as a person can touch 24 hours a day for a year, and then year after year, after year.
• HOT Keys - A key can do a Ctrl+V, or Ctrl+C, or a complete URL - like touch a key on the keyboard with your logo and go to your home page.
• NEMA 4
• Indestructible Touch System - Impervious to finger nails, or any sharp objects, with no detection means beneath the finger to be damaged.
• Hot Plugable - Unique design allows the keyboard to be plugged into an up and running host Ps2 port. A company tested this by hot docking the keyboard over 1,200 times with various computers and equipment, and the keyboard is still the same as it came out of the box, A OK. He said no other keyboard could do this, and that this was the toughest keyboard he's ever tested!
• LED Status Indicators - controlled by the host system through communications link. Any one or all of the indicators can be seen through the key text overlay depending on the customers indicator requirements, i.e., operation in progress in response to a key touched, a pump running, a printer printing, any operation in progress, thus giving visual feedback for key touch.
• Touch Track (TM) - is like a your finger being used like a joy stick. You place your finger in the neutral zone, and then move your finger in the direction you want the cursor to move. When you want the cursor to stop you can either move your finger back to the neutral zone or lift it out of the touch area, clicking and draging also supported.
• Security Key - Immuned to ESD because the key fits in the housing not through it. Can be switch selectable to disable the Keypad when removed. Can be used for supervisory changes to a process or application.
• Intrinsic Safe - Totally electronic using infrared detection having no moving, deflecting or contacting parts.
• Switch Selectable Outputs - RS-232, RS-422, Ps2 Keyboard, Ps2 Mouse, Row/Column, 8 bit parallel Binary w/strobe, ASC11 parallel w/strobe. Option to have any key code for any key position (row/column and parallel outputs only standard on 20 position keyboards).
